Information Access a Breeze

iManage empowers organizations to create, manage, and collaborate documents and emails from anywhere on any device. Based on a user's behavior, iManage can suggest locations and devices for filing emails as well as automatically file emails based on conversations through the iManage Work 10 tool. Especially in the case of law firms, misfiling of even one document can be a costly affair for the firm's bottom-line and reputation. iManage Work 10 leverages AI, machine learning, and big data analytics to enhance productivity by eliminating traditional friction points, offering one-click access to documents, and smart previews in a mobile or tablet.

Another state-of-the-art product by the company is iManage Share. The tool facilitates secure file sharing and collaboration, and clients can easily streamline workflows with internal and external stakeholders. The unique architecture of iManage Share allows firms to seamlessly use tools for metadata scrubbing and document comparison. While other file sharing solutions on the market today provide simple ribbon bar actions to allow the upload, the iManage Share ‘Smart Attachments’ integration goes further, monitoring emails with attachments and suggesting a secure file link based on a set of customizable preferences for a firm. Moreover, customers that are already using the iManage Work mobile application see the iManage Share folders within the engagement file, allowing them to access content without needing to install another application. The tool comes with multi-level file encryption and stringent industry standard that protects the privacy of content.

What makes iManage a cut above other solution providers is their unique content engine, iManage RAVN that uses advanced AI and machine learning to gain new insights and automate routine cognitive tasks. This revolutionary engine can automatically classify, find, extract, and predict information from large volumes of unstructured data sets and documents enabling professionals to access the right information at the right time. iManage RAVN contains semantic and cognitive components, which are leveraged by a set of three applications, to provide end-to-end management, discovery, analysis, and governance of unstructured corporate data, including the capability to extract and distill information contained within documents.

The use cases where iManage RAVN proved its mettle are truly unique and one such example is that of Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), an international law firm. Before RAVN was introduced to the company they were using traditional and outdated methods to manage their documents. If there was a need for a large amount of due diligence or data extraction, a team of professionals were assembled to manually sift, extract, and record the data. This was not only time-consuming but ridden with errors. On implementing RAVN, its applied cognitive engine could automatically read documents as well as interpret and summarize information. The client was able to completely remove human error from the process, engage their workforce in more important tasks while reducing overall costs significantly.

Well aware that with endless data is followed by endless security and regulatory issues, iManage delivers best-in-class security, protects sensitive information from phishing and internal threats, and supports ethical walls and client audit requests, all without burdening the user with additional steps and work. The company delivers 24/7 continuous threat detection, monitoring and reporting capabilities to protect an organization’s sensitive information across any device, anywhere. For the maximum benefit of clients, the company offers innovative security programs, namely the iManage Security Policy Manager, iManage Threat Manager, and iManage Records Manager. iManage Security Policy Manager supports the industry's best practices for securing work product and is tightly integrated with iManage Work and iManage Records Manager to deliver comprehensive security. The iManage Records Manager, on the other hand, provides a central interface with advanced capabilities to manage both physical and electronic records. Administrators can set governance policies, including trigger events, retention periods and disposition rules, as well monitor and enforce compliance on both records and non-records. Lastly, the iManage Threat Manager utilizes machine learning to analyze millions of transactions and detect patterns of abnormal user behavior. A proprietary algorithm scores alerts based on deviations from the individual user and peer group behavioral patterns. Above all, iManage Threat Manager provides built-in reports, advanced forensics, and granular event reconstruction to ensure rapid detection and investigation of an alert.
