iManage Rolls Out Multiple New Features

iManage is rolling out a range of new features across the KM company’s environment, along with updating others, which they said is all about an ‘evolution’ of what they offer, ‘built around a context fabric that transforms an organisation’s accumulated knowledge into a living, governed foundation for agentic work’.

Neil Araujo, CEO, iManage, commented: ‘iManage is helping organisations move from systems that simply store knowledge to a secure, governed foundation that actively surfaces it, connects it, and makes it usable for AI – contextually, responsibly, and at scale.’

They added that they gained ‘90 new customer logos in 2026 and [saw] expansion of the iManage cloud to 78% of its global customer base’. Plus ‘83% of the Top Global 100 firms and 79% of the Am Law 100 now rely on iManage’.

OK, now onto the features. Take a deep breath, and here we go….some are general directions of travel, some are specific advances:

• Advancement of the iManage Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, which enables organisations to securely connect AI tools and agents to governed iManage knowledge.
• Further development of playbook analysis in Ask iManage, which helps legal teams consistently apply institutional knowledge to contract review, accelerate time to agreement, and keep work within the secure iManage environment.
• iManage Expands AI Ecosystem with Anthropic – As part of its broader AI freedom of choice strategy, iManage is expanding its AI ecosystem through its availability in Anthropic’s partner ecosystem and Claude store. Through iManage MCP Server, Claude can access governed iManage knowledge – including matter history, documents, and institutional context – in a permission-bound and auditable way.
• iManage Insight+ Multi-Region Search gives global organisations a unified search experience across multiple regions, helping users find governed work product, documents, emails, and matter-related context regardless of where that data resides. Combined with MCP, this helps organisations connect AI, business context, and trusted knowledge across jurisdictions and offices.
• iManage native OCR automatically makes scanned documents and image-based PDFs searchable and legible to AI within the platform. For organisations with years of scanned files in their document libraries, iManage OCR helps ensure important knowledge is not invisible to search or AI assistants like Ask iManage.
• iManage Security Policy Manager is evolving to support the next layer of AI governance. Today, iManage AI tools respect existing ethical walls and security permissions, ensuring users only interact with information they are authorised to access. Looking ahead, Security Policy Manager will support more granular client- and matter-level restrictions for AI use, helping organisations apply governance requirements as AI becomes embedded in daily work.
• iManage Threat Manager now surfaces AI agent activity directly in user activity reporting, giving security teams greater visibility into what AI agents are accessing, moving, and modifying across the platform. At ConnectLive, iManage is sharing its roadmap for Threat Manager as a comprehensive layer for monitoring and reporting on AI agent behaviour.
• iManage Disposition Manager is a cloud-native Records Management application built on the same modern architecture that underpins iManage Work 10 cloud. Records managers can now intervene, override exceptions, and automate resolution when workflows encounter issues, such as unavailable approvers or checked-out documents.
• iManage Records Manager has improved reporting performance, making it faster to run reports and export results for analysis and action. A new processing status experience gives users real-time visibility while searches and reports are running. Additionally, the new eSynch services deliver better performance and resiliency when synching content with iManage Cloud.
• iManage Collaboration Links brings secure external sharing directly into the knowledge work platform, allowing teams to share documents with clients and external parties through a simple link, with governance and Microsoft 365 co-authoring built in. External collaborators can view and edit iManage documents without needing an iManage account, helping teams collaborate more easily without moving work outside governed processes.

So, there you go. A lot is going on and coming down the line.
