Thank you to iManage for sponsoring iPhone J.D. this month. iManage is the industry’s leading email and document management application, allowing lawyers to create, manage and collaborate on work product. Over 2,000 law firms use iManage. I have been using iManage at my law firm since 2003, and over that time I’ve seen the product evolve and improve greatly. (The name has changed too — from iManage, to Interwoven, and now back to iManage.) As iManage has improved over the years, the iPhone and iPad integration has improved greatly over time.
iManage is sponsoring iPhone J.D. to promote iManage Work version 10, which is a major upgrade, offering tools for lawyers to work on documents from anywhere on any device. Indeed, iManage 10 advertises that it uses a “mobile-first user experience” so that you can learn the software once and then have a consistent experience across phone, tablet and desktop, enabling you to work from anywhere and stay productive on-the-go. iManage Work 10 includes smart features such as personalized search, document timelines, and intelligent worklists. Companies around the world in the legal, accounting and financial sector use iManage to handle their documents and emails.
At my firm, we are getting ready to upgrade to version 10, and I’m very much looking forward to the new features. I see that iManage recently issued a press release discussing how Minneapolis family law firm Honsa Rodd Landry is using iManage Work 10. Kristy Rodd, a partner at the firm, is quoted as saying: “Since we don’t have dedicated on-site IT staff, technical issues could result in delayed access to critical documents. … Because of my past experience with iManage at a larger law firm, I know how valuable it would be to incorporate the same platform here. Getting iManage Work 10 and iManage Share via the iManage Cloud is an essential solution for us.”
iManage manages not only documents, but emails too. On the PC in my office, I use the iManage software which is incorporated into Outlook so that I can take any email from my Inbox and drag it in to the appropriate folder in iManage. That way, case-related emails are stored with the appropriate case, and can later be found by browsing or searching.
If you are looking at adding or improving document management at your law firm, you should definitely check out iManage. And thanks again to iManage for supporting iPhone J.D.
