A document management system stores and organizes files. iManage goes further — it connects documents, email, and expertise across systems, applies governance and security as knowledge moves, and uses AI to surface context, precedent, and insight so teams can act on what they know, not just find it. Built on more than 30 years as the system of record for the world’s leading firms, iManage keeps knowledge governed, connected, and compounding so every decision builds on what came before.
The iManage Platform
Put your knowledge to work — securely, at scale
The organizations pulling ahead don't just store knowledge. They govern it, connect it, and activate it in context across every decision. iManage is the knowledge work platform that makes that possible.
Our 2026 Benchmark report shows:
This is what putting knowledge to work means
iManage doesn’t just store knowledge — it keeps it governed, puts AI to work to activate it, and connects it across every system your teams rely on.
Govern with confidence, not friction
Security, governance, and compliance travel with every piece of work — so teams can reuse, collaborate, and adopt AI with confidence.
Turn institutional knowledge into action
AI grounded in your trusted data goes beyond answers — it acts. Experts stay in control with explainable, traceable outputs that reinforce judgment.
Scale AI agents without losing control
AI agents connect to iManage - with permissions enforces, context surfaced, access logged and auditable at the point of connection.
Every piece of work makes the next one better
iManage captures, connects, and protects every piece of work, so your teams build on what came before.

Making Knowledge Work
Put your knowledge to work. Governed. Connected. AI-ready.
You have questions. We have answers.
What is a knowledge work platform and how is it different from a DMS?
How does iManage use AI? And, what makes it governed?
iManage embeds AI within a governed framework so outputs are explainable, traceable, and grounded in trusted data. Capabilities include AI-powered semantic search, best-work surfacing, document analysis, and an AI assistant (Ask iManage) that operates inside the security perimeter with full audit history — no data egress required. Governed AI means it operates within your organization’s existing security policies, access controls, and compliance rules — because 36% of organizations have already suffered an AI policy violation, iManage ensures AI works within your rules, with explainable outputs, audit trails, and human oversight at every step.
How does iManage handle security and compliance?
iManage provides multi-layered security including ethical walls, granular access policies, active threat detection, and full audit trail visibility. Security, governance, and compliance travel with every piece of work — so teams can collaborate, reuse content, and adopt AI with confidence that sensitive information stays protected.
What integrations does iManage support, including AI tools?
iManage connects to over 200 technology partners through open APIs, native integrations, and the iManage MCP connector for AI tools. Key partners include Microsoft, Harvey, ServiceNow, Legora, and Mitratech. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector enables AI tools and agents to access governed knowledge within iManage without moving data outside the platform — allowing AI assistants to act on your behalf with built-in governance, context, and accountability. Your tools connect to iManage - so AI and teams work with knowledge where it lives, governed, in context, and fully accountable.
Why are organizations replacing their document management systems?
iManage research shows 70% of organizations plan to replace their document management system in the next two years. The shift reflects a move from static storage to intelligent, AI-ready platforms that connect knowledge across systems, enforce governance automatically, and turn institutional expertise into a competitive advantage — not just an archive.
