Securely leverage expertise and best practices for competitive advantage
Consolidations, mergers and the dispersal of legal expertise across geographically
distributed offices have put significant pressures on law firms to efficiently
manage critical assets. E-mail usage has increased exponentially, and the need
to manage e-mail messages and attachments as part of the matter file is vital.
At the same time, law firms are under pressure to provide clients with a single
unified face, higher levels of service, and reduced legal fees.
The key business challenge for law firms today is to find an easy, cost-effective
way for attorneys to access and share critical information and best practices,
and provide partners full visibility into their clients’ matters—directly
from their familiar desktop environment. They also need tools that enable them
to increase revenues by cross selling services and by building high-value practice
areas and more profitable client relationships. By harnessing Internet technology,
Interwoven’s WorkSite (formerly iManage) helps law firms transform their
practices, fundamentally altering the way they interact, communicate and exchange
critical legal information across their extended enterprise.

Unparalelled Productivity for the Mobile Professional
In today’s fast-paced environment, business users need the ability to
access information at any time, from any location. This is especially true for
attorneys and other legal professionals who spend a substantial amount of time
in court, on the road, or at client sites. Until now, mobile users had the ability
to download specific files to a laptop for remote use, but they have lacked
the ability to use document management features such as check-in/check-out,
versioning and search while disconnected from the network.
Interwoven OffSite provides users with the virtual equivalent of their matter
or client file, making all matter-related files stored in WorkSite, including
documents, e-mails, scanned images and other content, readily accessible from
the users laptop, even when disconnected from the network. A fully portable
version of WorkSite, OffSite uses the same familiar user paradigms and interfaces
available in online mode, enabling users to browse the file hierarchy, view
and modify existing documents, create new documents and search repository content.
On reconnection to the network, new and updated files are automatically synchronized,
and OffSite’s sophisticated synchronization algorithm resolves any content
conflicts quickly and accurately. Interwoven OffSite provides the anytime, anywhere
availability that today’s highly mobile, fast-paced business professional
demands.
Over 65% of the AmLaw 100 law firms use WorkSite for document management or
collaboration. Already have a document management system? There's never been
a better time to switch to WorkSite, and it's easier than you think! To find
