July 02 2024 - 3:00AM
iManage, the company dedicated to Making Knowledge Work™, today
announced that Smith, Gambrell & Russell LLP (“SGR”)— a full
service, international law firm with 350 attorneys in 14 offices
across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany — has
selected iManage Cloud as the knowledge work platform of choice for
its firm. A longtime on-premises iManage customer, SGR conducted an
extensive survey of the market before selecting iManage as the best
cloud offering for the firm.
In addition to aligning with the firm’s overall
cloud-first strategy, iManage Cloud will give the firm access to
the latest innovations in the AI-powered iManage platform as soon
as they are available, providing the firm’s legal professionals
with the best available technology to securely collaborate, work
smarter and more efficiently, and service their clients at the
highest levels.
The tight integration between iManage and Microsoft
played a key role in the firm’s decision-making. As well as the
benefits of leveraging iManage through a secure, reliable, and
performant Microsoft Azure native cloud with a global footprint,
the firm was drawn to the enhanced collaboration that native
co-authoring capabilities and deep integration with Microsoft 365
applications provided.
Along with iManage Work for intelligent email and
document management, Smith, Gambrell & Russell will have access
to iManage Security Policy Manager for protecting sensitive
information with need-to-know security and ethical walls, and
iManage Threat Manager for real-time threat detection and
monitoring.
“As a continually growing firm, we need technology
that can not only address our needs today but can effectively scale
and grow with us to address our future needs,” said Danny
Rhinehart, Chief Information Officer, Smith, Gambrell &
Russell. “iManage Cloud provides the innovative, secure foundation
we require as our organization moves forward. Investing in key
platforms like iManage allows us as a firm to continue to drive
value and deliver the best results to our clients.”
Smith, Gambrell & Russell is working with local
iManage partner Harbor to assist with its migration to iManage
Cloud and expects to go live in early 2025.
“Having a firm like Smith, Gambrell & Russell
that has been in business for 130 years select our platform is
strong validation of the benefits of iManage Cloud, which enables
organizations to deliver the modern workplace,” said Jim Priz, EVP
of Customer Experience, iManage. “iManage Cloud is a platform that
will allow this longstanding and forward-thinking firm to
accelerate innovation, enhance security, cultivate efficiency, and
position itself for ongoing success as it continues to grow and
thrive.”
