Don't let the uncertainty of the eDOCS acquisition stall your organization's progress. Join the hundreds of law firms and legal departments who switch to iManage every year for a stable, cloud-native platform designed to make knowledge work.
| eDOCS | iManage | |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability | Primarily on-prem or hosted deployments that require internal infrastructure management and maintenance. | 99.98% uptime + offline caching. Our highly performant cloud architecture, combined with desktop-grade experience, ensures lawyers can keep working — even when their internet goes down. |
| Information Discovery | Email and large folder browsing performance can depend on infrastructure and configuration. | Scales to millions of documents across matters. Advanced search and metadata-driven indexing surface relevant content across workspaces, matters, and collections in seconds. |
| Security & Risk | Provides configurable security controls, typically managed and maintained by internal IT teams. Governance enforcement varies based on deployment model. | Specialized Governance: Built specifically for legal and regulated industries. Granular, need-to-know security model with ethical walls, matter-level controls, and AI-powered anomaly detection to proactively identify unusual behavior. |
| AI Integration | AI capabilities may rely on third-party integrations, depending on deployment and configuration. | Built-in AI: Native AI through Ask iManage, embedded directly within the DMS. Secure, permission-aware AI that respects ethical walls and client confidentiality while summarizing, extracting clauses, and generating insights. |
| User Experience |
Traditional DMS interface that may require customization to align with modern workflows. | Robust Microsoft Integration. The iManage desktop integration is deeply embedded in the Microsoft 365 Office suite, enabling lawyers to work wherever they work best, be it Outlook, Word, or iManage Work. This means users can collaborate seamlessly and execute tasks from either the iManage or Microsoft environment — by sharing externally from a document in Work with a simple right click, for example. Capabilities that reduce keystrokes and context switching remove barriers to efficiency. |
Transitioning from a system your firm has used for years is a strategic leap, and we ensure you don’t take it alone. Our network of partners provides a comprehensive assessment of your technology stack to outline a clear migration roadmap. We help you move from rigid folder structures to flexible, matter-centric projects that scale with your firm’s success.
Our employees are much more efficient. They know where their documents are, they can find them quickly with iManage search, and they can surface the information they need to help them hit the ground running on new cases.
