iManage Launches Next Generation Microsoft Co-Authoring Capability.

Recently, iManage announced the general availability of its next generation Microsoft Co-authoring capability within the iManage Work platform (cloudiManage), marking a significant advancement in document collaboration for law firms and other professional organisations. This integration allows users to seamlessly work together on Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents in real-time, enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows.

The new feature addresses the challenges of traditional document collaboration, where professionals often had to wait for colleagues to finish editing before making their own contributions. With iManage’s next generation Co-authoring, teams can now work simultaneously, regardless of their location, eliminating delays and fostering a more efficient and collaborative environment.

Key Benefits for Firms:

Real-Time Collaboration: Multiple users can work on the same document simultaneously, crucial for complex legal documents requiring input from various experts.

Enhanced Security and Compliance: iManage’s robust security and governance controls are maintained during co-authoring, ensuring sensitive legal documents remain protected.

Efficient Revision Management: The ability to track document revisions and roll back to previous versions provides transparency and control, essential for maintaining document integrity.

Improved Productivity: By eliminating the need to check documents in and out, law firms can streamline workflows and increase productivity.

Seamless Integration: The native integration with Microsoft 365 ensures a smooth user experience, minimising disruption to existing workflows.

“Next Generation co-authoring will serve as a powerful productivity driver for the iManage knowledge work platform. Benefiting from our deep partnership with Microsoft allows us to give customers a new way to achieve seamless, secure, and efficient document collaboration, without disrupting their workflows or compromising security or compliance.”
