Get acclimated to the new world of document management

From its humble start in the filing cabinet, document management has evolved to revolutionize the way people do business.

New capabilities, including anytime access on any device, easy document search and collaboration, and powerful new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, have transformed how professionals get work done.

KMWorld recently held a webinar with Shawn Misquitta, VP product, iManage; Clint Crosier, general counsel, iManage; and Alex Smith, RAVN Principal iManage, who discussed the technologies and best practices underpinning the new world of document management and how it's delivering serious value to businesses today.

Digital transformation drives change, they said. The amount of digital content—documents, emails, conversations—is growing exponentially.

Modern document management extends traditional document management into new forms of communication, intelligence, and security. This modern approach to document management incorporates capabilities including:

• Integrated document and email management
• Secure document sharing and collaboration
• Powerful and personalized search
• Mobile access
• Integration with key legal systems
• Need-to-know security and governance
• Knowledge management and analytics
• Intuitive and consumer-like experience
• Cloud service delivery

Organizations need to address the changing times, including increased work demands, changing work environment and pressure to deliver higher quality strategic output and to do it all more efficiently, according to Misquitta, Crosier, and Smith.

Companies perform better, make better decisions, are more able to tackle adversity and are ready to take advantage of opportunities when they have a deeper and clearer understanding of the critical information in their documents.

Enterprises are encouraged to harness the power of AI and knowledge to empower a smarter team. When businesses empower a smarter team it increases focus on high value initiatives because teams are sharing knowledge and reusing best practices; improves responsiveness and timeliness to the business as teams are more efficient and leaner; and drives higher quality, more insightful, innovative thinking and improved decision making.
