Chose iManage Work
Truthfully I have never used another filing software. Each firm I have been with has used iManage.
MS Sharepoint requires a lot of time to integrate and efforts are expensive compared to iManage product. iManage is quick setup and well integrates with existing on-premise environments and integrates well with major iDP systems for authentications and manage RBAC systems for …
There are a couple of different types of Alternatives:
In terms of e-mail, the default is just to leave everything in Outlook and archive them when the total inbox size gets too large. This doesn't work for our organisation because the emails are not sufficiently backed up and …
Worldox and Worldox Enterprise do a superb job for document management. iManage Work has the edge in that it's cloud hosted, but so is Worldox Enterprise. Worldox forces assimilation by integrating with Office applications and controlling where items are saved to. iManage Work …
I have viewed several other document management system software, but iManage was already installed at my company before I started working here. For us, I think this is the right solution. Companies with a smaller number of employees or smaller document collections could find …
iManage is well suited to managing the large volume of documents and emails that are created on a daily basis. Lawyers can get dozens if not hundreds of e-mails a day, and we need something to do with them. Deleting them is often not practical, because you may require the information a year from now. Leaving them in Outlook is also impractical, because a large Inbox will slow Outlook down. Outlook has an archiving feature, but this doesn't really help for collaboration (and your colleagues are likely out of luck if you end up unavailable due to emergency). iManage is less well suited to small organizations (ex: sole practitioners and small firms) because it is does require a significant investment in implementing and maintaining the software. iManage Work is well suited for large law firms, because it is great for collaboration, including between different offices.
The great thing about livepro is you can structure your content the way that suits your organisation. livepro are there to support you in deciding what may work best for your team, it is not a one size fits all solution. The system allows you to write complex processes in a simplified view so staff can easily navigate to the solution they need. The 'rocket' knowledge object allows your processes that have a lot of variation to be written up in a simple decision tree setup, taking your staff to the right outcome every time.
Easy to navigate. Anyone can jump onto the system with minimal training, it is user friendly and intuitive.
Supportive team. The livepro team are 100% responsive and supportive to all feedback, suggestions and requests. You can tell they are focused on their users and their customer experience is fantastic.
WYSIWYG editor. The editing function when authoring content is very easy to use. You can follow the basic "what you see is what you get" editor, or you can delve into the source code if you want to get savvy with your technical skills.
livepro integrates with a number of other platforms to enhance the user experience. For example, Genesys Cloud.
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
Feedback module. I'm scratching for things to record in cons here. The feedback module could be improved by having further display options - being able to preview feedback without clicking into it. However, livepro have taken this feedback on board and are already looking at ways to improve.
Admin/roles. The current way to set up the roles/permissions is clunky however this is not a space you need to use often. I'm looking forward to the new and improved version that is being worked on.
It has been what our firm has always used, and overall everyone seems to be pleased with it. It is user friendly and intuitive and it doesn't appear we have any intention of changing what we use for our purposes.
To me iManage is very intuitive and user friendly. The switch from the application vs the Outlook extension was an adjustment, but it was one I made pretty easily once it happened.
We had an issue a few years ago where a plug-in of some sort which allowed the viewing of PDFs got updated and then whenever some people previewed PDFs in iManage then Outlook would crash. My outlook crashed over 20 times in a single day once. It was a pretty bad time. I know one of our information technology professionals in another office worked non-stop with iManage to get it resolved, and it seemed like they did take the issue pretty seriously.
MS SharePoint requires a lot of time to integrate and efforts are expensive compared to iManage product. iManage is quick setup and well integrates with existing on-premise environments and integrates well with major iDP systems for authentications and manage RBAC systems for permissions via API calls.
Since our policy is that all client documents are saved into iManage, we have been able to keep an email retention policy for Exchange to 90days to delete. This has saved us significant resources in both Exchange management and hardware to support excessive email storage for archived databases or extremely large databases.
The ability to search documents quickly by text inside the documents allows to review previously created contracts and use similar language that is well suited to a new project over again without having to spend time manually opening and searching ourselves. The software does it for us.
We used to store old files at an offsite storage facility for a monthly fee. We have implemented a new procedure, where we now scan these old paper files into our iManage system, making them text searchable PDFs. Since the software has such robust searching capabilities, this makes the documents much more accessible when needed than requesting an offsite storage delivery and having to manually pull paper files. In addition, we have saved thousands of dollars a month by not storing paper files offsite any longer. If the searching were not so powerful, we would not done this because our old paper storage system worked well for us previously.
livepro has improved our right first time response for our customer contact center. In the first six months of going live, our RFT response increased to the 60th percentile from 50 percent.
One source of truth--our customer service team is confident in the answers they are providing and that they can rely on the accuracy and quality of information.
Providing a superior level of customer service--as the team becomes more efficient in using the system, they are processing more calls and creating more meaningful outcomes for our customers. The teams percentage of missed (abandoned) calls has dropped from 4.26 percent to 3 percent since implementation of livepro.
