The Challenge
Magna Legal Services, a nationwide litigation support services provider, offers an innovative platform for virtual jury research, JuryConfirm. The company's vision was to make jury research sessions more efficient by leveraging the virtual world without losing the richness of an in-person session. However, they faced a significant challenge with their existing platform. Their in-depth research sessions, which could last from 4.5 to nearly 8 hours, were being interrupted by call time limits, disrupting the customer experience. The company was also experiencing intermittent issues with the CPaaS platform, which required them to engage developers for fixes, taking time away from incremental improvement and innovation. They needed a solution that could provide high-quality, reliable audio conferencing capabilities, follow-the-speaker, bounce participants into various breakout rooms, and let them identify the source of background noise and selectively mute participants.

They also offer an innovative platform for virtual jury research, JuryConfirm. The company's in-depth research sessions, which test out cases before they go to trial, are a unique offering in the legal services industry.
The Solution
Magna Legal Services turned to Plivo APIs to overcome their challenges. Plivo's voice API provided the high-quality, reliable audio conferencing capabilities that Magna needed. It allowed them to manage the complexity of their jury research sessions, which could include up to 120 participants through a conference bridge. Plivo's API also enabled them to bounce participants into various breakout rooms, identify the source of background noise, and selectively mute participants. In addition to Plivo Voice APIs, Magna also used the Plivo SMS API to connect with clients and participants. Participants could choose to receive automated messages reminding them of their upcoming sessions, and Magna could send SMS messages to off-screen mock jurors to encourage full engagement throughout the session. Plivo's secure phone conferencing gave Magna the peace of mind they needed when dealing with sensitive, protected data.
