About iManage
Introduction
Founded in 1998 with a clear mission: to empower knowledge and streamline productivity, all within a highly secure, intuitive platform. iManage has evolved from a document management solution into a comprehensive, AI-powered platform that delivers insights, automates workflows and enables collaboration, becoming an essential tool for 1000s of high-profile organisations.
Challenges Overcome
iManage has overcome numerous challenges, shaping its evolution and market position.
1. Adapting to Cloud: Professional services industries are traditionally slow adopters of cloud technologies due to concerns around data security, geo-distribution of data, compliance and control. iManage tackled this by developing the most modern robust, scalable, cloud-native platform that meets the highest standards of security, compliance and regulatory needs of organisations globally. This enabled us to transition many clients to the cloud, offering greater flexibility without sacrificing security.
2. Amplifying Knowledge Work with AI: With the rise of AI, the challenge was to leverage these advanced capabilities without disrupting the workflows professionals were accustomed to. To bring intelligence to users, our AI engine, iManage AI, was developed to amplify—not replace—knowledge worker intelligence, surfacing key insights from vast amounts of data and automating repetitive tasks. By seamlessly integrating AI, we’ve enabled organisations to enhance their expertise.
3. Industry-specific Needs: Professional services industries operate under stringent regulatory and ethical standards. Generic SaaS solutions often don’t meet their unique requirements. iManage has tailored its platform to address these specific challenges, delivering verticalised solutions that meet the nuanced needs of Knowledge Workers, driving widespread SaaS adoption across some of the world’s largest organisations.
Impact
iManage’s contribution to the SaaS industry is not just its solutions, but in how we’ve changed the way knowledge workers approach their jobs. Built using modern containerised services, our always-on platform supports the 24×7 global organisation. This micro-service architecture supports elastic scalability and a zero-touch, zero-trust security model to secure data.
Our AI-infused platform has shifted the paradigm from merely managing documents to providing actionable insights that improve decision-making and enhance client-service.
iManage has pioneered the concept of knowledge work management, where professionals can access, manage, and secure critical documents and communications in one place, amplifying productivity and collaboration. This innovation has transformed the way professional services firms operate and think about work product security, efficiency and AI-driven automation.
By leading the way in making cloud adoption feasible for industries with strict data security and regulatory requirements, iManage has helped shift a traditionally on-premises sector towards modern, scalable SaaS solutions.
Conclusion
iManage is not just a SaaS company; we’re a trusted partner in helping professional services organisations navigate a complex world of data management, security and AI. Our ability to evolve, overcome industry-specific challenges and introduce transformative innovations has positioned us as a leader in the SaaS space. We continue to set the standard for SaaS platforms serving professional services industries.
