Some customers commented:
Ken Levonaitis, CIO, Seward & Kissel, LLP: “As a firm that focuses heavily on supporting the financial services, corporate finance and capital markets areas, our clients have extremely demanding requirements around where their work product is stored, how it’s secured, and processed. We were extremely impressed with iManage’s approach to comprehensive security and governance, and how the platform will enable us to satisfy a variety of client mandates, going forward.”
Mark Bowden, CIO, Tonkon Torp: “At Tonkon Torp, we pride ourselves on delivering the best client experience, with responsive service and expert support. But as a mid-sized law firm, we need to do that with minimal IT infrastructure and resources. The iManage Cloud gives us the perfect platform to reduce our hardware footprint, proactively address evolving security risks, and ensure we’re staying absolutely up to date with the latest and greatest functionality that enables our lawyers and staff to stay productive.”
Jason Tank, Director of Information Technology, Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo: “In order to be as agile and responsive as possible in a changing legal market, our firm undertook a strategic plan to move its critical applications and content to the cloud. As part of this comprehensive effort, the firm investigated a number of solutions, but ultimately decided to migrate to the iManage Cloud because we felt that iManage was the vendor that demonstrated the clearest path for an improved user experience with Work 10, the strongest roadmap that would deliver real productivity improvements for our staff, and the strongest post-sales support.”
Brien Bergner, Manager, Legal Operations, Gilead Sciences: “iManage provides world-class data security. So, we in the department feel comfortable that when we’re collaborating on matters, our documents are secure and only the right people can access sensitive information. Ultimately, it helps us support the wider business and accelerates getting new healthcare innovations to market.”
