In today’s dynamic, hybrid work world, collaborating on documents quickly and securely has never been more critical. Traditional methods of document collaboration, like emailing drafts or waiting for colleagues to check documents back in, are no longer enough. iManage is changing how professionals work together with iManage Next-Generation Co-authoring, a modern solution that combines the power of iManage Work and Microsoft 365 to provide smooth, real-time collaboration.
The collaboration challenges of yesterday
Knowledge professionals have long faced hurdles when working together on documents:
- Version confusion when multiple copies of a document circulate
- Lost edits from unsaved work or system crashes
