“The results we’ve achieved are testament to the hard work the iManage team is putting into the ongoing development of the industry’s most secure Cloud platform, our relentless focus on customer outcomes, and the robust expansion of our global partner ecosystem – particularly our tight alignment and integration with the Microsoft stack,” said Neil Araujo, CEO, iManage. “Our customer success and momentum signal that we’re well positioned for our mission to help customers uncover and activate the knowledge in their organizations with greater efficiency, automation, and improved business results.”
Many of today’s top legal organizations are deploying iManage to provide leading capabilities to their users delivered through a high performance, secure Cloud-based infrastructure. iManage vastly improves user experience and remote working while integrating document management, collaboration, security, and governance abilities – all designed to be in step with the way lawyers work.
Patricia Mansuy, Interim CIO at Cole Schotz, commented:
“We did do a review of the other cloud vendors…but it was clear that iManage was where we needed to be and go. We firmly believe that cloud has made us more secure. We are no longer at the mercy of having to do constant updates on our hardware and software and ensuring…everything that goes on with regard to security. That’s really freed us up to do some greater things that really are focused on enhancing the practice of law instead of being down in the weeds.
“When you know that you can have your data, your workloads in the cloud — our two most important are Exchange and our documents — I don’t have to worry. I can sleep. I trust that Microsoft and iManage are ensuring that our security is strong and they’re watching 24/7.”
Dana Wesley, Sarti Litigation Support Manager at Robbins Russell, providing insight from her firm’s recent iManage deployment, stated:
“The amount of overhead and the amount of expertise one has to have in house compared to the cost of having iManage in the cloud makes the choice [between on-premises and the cloud] in my mind, not even a competition. Being in the cloud was so liberating in terms of knowing where stuff is and being able to get to it no matter what’s going on back at the office.
