Nextpoint and OnCue: A trial presentation partnership built for litigation teams

Nextpoint and OnCue have been partners for over a decade, and that relationship has only gotten more useful for litigation teams. Nextpoint handles ediscovery, deposition management, and case building in the cloud. OnCue is dedicated trial presentation software built for the courtroom. Together, they cover the full arc of a case, from collecting and organizing evidence to presenting it in front of a jury.

The partnership works two ways. Nextpoint and OnCue actively point clients toward each other when it makes sense, and select Nextpoint plans include a free OnCue subscription. On top of that, Nextpoint's platform integrates directly with OnCue, letting users export deposition clips and designations in a format that's ready to go, no separate conversion step required. For teams that already live in Nextpoint for their case building, that means dedicated trial presentation software is often just a plan upgrade away, not a separate vendor relationship to negotiate.

Why teams pair Nextpoint with OnCue

Nextpoint's case building tools already include Theater mode, a built-in trial presentation feature for playing video clips, displaying exhibits, and running a courtroom or hearing presentation directly from the platform. For a lot of matters, that's genuinely all a team needs.

But some cases call for a more robust, dedicated trial presentation platform, especially larger trials with multiple witnesses, extensive video designations, and courtroom hardware to manage on-site. That's where OnCue comes in. It's purpose-built for the demands of live trial work: quickly pulling up exhibits, editing video designations on the fly, and organizing evidence for courtroom display.

Rather than forcing teams to choose one tool for the entire case, the integration lets them use Nextpoint for the deposition and document work upstream, then move into OnCue when it's time to actually present.

"Nextpoint is all about maximizing efficiency and cost-savings for discovery and trial teams," said Rakesh Madhava, Nextpoint CEO. "Providing data and workflow flexibility to our clients is the cornerstone of efficiency. Building an integrated OnCue export from Nextpoint makes it easy for our users to take advantage of the OnCue platform in the courtroom. It not only saves time, but gives users more options when heading to hearings or trial."

How the Nextpoint to OnCue workflow works

The integration is built around designations. When a Nextpoint user creates a video designation, the platform automatically generates a video clip at that timestamp in the transcript. From there, users can export those designation clips directly to OnCue for trial presentation, no manual clipping or reformatting required. This integration cuts out the challenges associated with transcript file formats and compatibility. Whatever format your testimony is in, it’s automatically ready for trial presentation.

OnCue is jointly owned and operated by Core Legal Concepts and RLM | TrialGraphix. "The integration with Nextpoint gives trial teams a super easy way to take pre-trial work from the cloud and translate that to rock-solid presentation in a courtroom," said Eric Pubentz of Core Legal Concepts.

Teams can also import exhibits and timelines built in Nextpoint into OnCue, so the same evidence a team built out during case prep carries over cleanly to the presentation platform.

The result is a workflow where the heavy lifting of transcript review, designation, and evidence organization happens in Nextpoint, and the final courtroom delivery happens in OnCue, with a direct path between the two.

Guy Joubert of RLM | TrialGraphix put it simply: "OnCue and Nextpoint are both driven to bring state-of-the-art efficiency to litigators. Digital evidence in Nextpoint's platform can be quickly brought into OnCue for vital on-site editing, organization and presentation in the courtroom, where time is of the essence."
