CANTON, Ohio, March 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) - equivant and RDO, both pioneering justice technology companies, are pleased to announce a new partnership that will add RDO's award-winning online dispute resolution technology to equivant's existing software for justice solutions. The partnership will enable courts to progress cases quicker with better outcomes to increase public redress. equivant will combine over 30 years of experience with its existing full-service team of professionals to deliver RDO's technology in North America. 

Courts exist as the final guarantor of justice but are increasingly challenged by complex paper-based processes, legacy systems, and rising case backlogs post-COVID.

RDO is unique in offering courts and mediators a configurable solution that is agnostic to case type and provides an integrated pathway to resolution for Negotiation, Mediation, and Trials. 

"equivant is pleased to offer our clients the most efficient ODR solution on the market.
