Consilio has launched Aurora, its Digital Enterprise Platform, in the UK and Europe starting July 1, 2025. The platform addresses escalating legal data and technology costs while maintaining vendor independence. European legal teams now have access to UK data residency and GDPR compliance through Consilio's dedicated data centre.

The Cost Crisis Confronting European Legal Teams

European legal departments face a convergence of three critical challenges that create what Consilio President Meredith Kildow describes as "a perfect storm." Growing software prices combine with SaaS platform lock-ins and skyrocketing data volumes to strain budgets beyond sustainable limits.

The traditional approach forces legal teams into an uncomfortable choice: platform consolidation that restricts flexibility or fragmentation that reduces operational efficiency. This false dichotomy has left many departments struggling with unexpected cost overruns and limited strategic control over their technology investments.

Aurora's Strategic Response Framework

Data Sovereignty Architecture Aurora operates entirely within UK borders, processing and storing data through Consilio's dedicated UK data centre. This approach eliminates public cloud deployment risks while ensuring GDPR and UK data protection compliance.
