Use Cases and Deployment Scope

iManage is used by every single person in my firm. This is how we build and maintain client data and files! We also use for letter template and document management as a firm. It is very helpful for client reporting. I use iManage extensively each day to save emails, documents and other correspondence.

Pros

  • Correspondence storage
  • Intuitive folder naming
  • Data organization

Cons

  • Recent matters dropdown in chronological order, not numerical order
  • View PDF files in preview panel without opening

Return on Investment

  • I don't have hard numbers, but as long as the firm has had iManage for as long as it has had electronic files, so it must be working quite well

  • Managers have superior access to the document repository for iManage.
  • Easy to integrate with Outlook client using an Plug-in to share, upload and download documents from iManage.

Cons

  • More APIs calls needed to automate image documents automations for our claims team.
  • Mobile app (Outlook mobile app) plugin integration to mimic the same UX.
  • Monitoring user activity logs needs to be integrated with any CLM systems.

Return on Investment

  • The amount of time needed in searching is reduced to few seconds and organizing the documents by case numbers has been the best ROI for our Legal team.

Senior Manager, FP&A in Finance and Accounting at Evolve (501-1000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used for document management across multiple departments within my organization (finance, accounting, HR, and sales).

Pros

  • The range of different types of files you can save all in one place is unmatched.
  • Ease of use
  • Makes it easy to ensure the latest versions of documents are being used.

Cons

  • The system can be fairly buggy. I have issues with freezing, and a lack of responsiveness each time I use it ( although not for long and does not prevent me from getting what I need to be done, it's just annoying).
  • It has a slightly larger learning curve to use than other more simplistic records managers

Other Software Used

Sage Business Cloud X3 (formerly Sage ERP X3), FileInvite, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)

Most Important Features

  • Matter centricity
  • Ability to save and share a multitude of different documents in different formats.

Return on Investment

  • A bit pricey but worth it once you know how to use it. It makes any document sharing easy and seamless which is priceless.
