Groundbreaking new features

Whether you’re in litigation, corporate, family or any other type of legal practice, there’s no getting around the need to put in maximum effort for your clients. It comes with the territory. iManage Work 10 leverages AI, big data analysis and other advanced technologies to track and analyze your work style so the program can help you work smarter and more efficiently.

Some of these machine-learning advancements include:

  • Smart Worklists: Smart Worklists are fully adaptable and provide an overview of data you can instantly call up with a click (on a laptop or desktop) or swipe (on a smartphone or tablet). Smart Worklists are thematically grouped as emails, clients, documents, downloads, large files and shared documents. And since it runs off the cloud, you can track the progress of documents edited by others in real-time and what the previous version looked like. This capability helps you and your team avoid duplication and improves time management, thereby increasing lawyer productivity through integrated electronic matter files and fully reusable project templates.
  • Document Timeline: Document Timeline function provides additional context to see not only who has edited certain documents but at what time. Even if they left the correspondence alone, Document Timeline allows you to see when it was viewed by anyone else, down to the minute they logged on.
  • Personalized Search: The search toolbar enables you to quickly access emails, matters and documents instantaneously, but what makes search for iManage Work 10 unique is its ability to deliver results that are most relevant to your needs and what data you access most. The machine-learning capabilities of iManage Work 10 strategically order the search results from most likely to least likely.
  • Email Management: Just as you likely search for certain subjects more often than others, the same is often true for who you email. iManage Work 10 keeps tabs on your most common recipients to learn your habits and then makes recommendations for who to send letters, documents or attachments to and appropriate filing locations for conversations, matters and subject headings.

Your clients expect you to deliver for them. iManage Work 10 can position you for success. To learn more, request a quote or to schedule an appointment for integration, please contact us at Afinety today.
