iManage has announced the first release of its document and email management application to feature integration with artificial intelligence (AI) from RAVN , a developer it recently acquired.  

iManage Work 10.1 includes new search and collaboration features to enhance professional productivity and promise the ability for professionals to create, manage and collaborate on all work product from anywhere on any device in a single user experience.

“Our end users are actually embracing the IT that’s been provided to them,” said Ross Forgione, CIO, Johnson Winter & Slattery.

“iManage Work does what it’s supposed to do, so that our professionals can focus on what they’re supposed to do, which is servicing the clients to our firm’s very high standards.”

Enhanced product integrations now available with iManage Work 10.1 create a platform where organisations can build innovative new solutions spanning Work Product Management, Governance and AI:

• iManage Share – Users can now share and collaborate with external parties securely from within the iManage Work 10 interface. iManage Share supports secure file sharing and addresses many challenges professionals face when sharing information with clients and external parties.
• iManage Records Manager ­– New integration with iManage’s records management application enables professionals to see all physical and electronic records directly from within the iManage Work 10 modern responsive interface. This single view of all client related materials facilitates greater adoption of key records initiatives.
• iManage Security Policy Manager – Integration with iManage Security Policy Manager (SPM) for managing ethical walls and need-to-know security enables iManage Work searches to respect the security policies in SPM. This ensures that content security is maintained across all team members involved in the project.

iManage Work 10.1 is the first iManage product to support integration with iManage RAVN , improving search performance and reducing the cost of search by up to 50%. In addition, once an organisation has moved to the RAVN search, implementing AI applications such as M&A due diligence and lease data extraction in the enterprise is faster and easier.

 “We are very excited about the integrations with the iManage 10 Professional Experience as it provides significantly more integration points and faster workflows than possible previously,” said Dean Sappey, President of iManage partner firm DocsCorp.

“The launch of iManage Work 10 earlier this year was a game changer for Work Product Management,” said Shawn Misquitta, Vice-President of Product Management, iManage. “This release extends the capabilities and enhanced user experience beyond document management to security, governance and collaboration, enabling organisations to build powerful solutions for today’s challenges.”

iManage Work 10.1 is delivered through elastic cloud-scale services or as an on-premises deployment.
