Swiss firm Homburger to move to the iManage Cloud leveraging new local data centre

Zurich law firm Homburger AG will be transitioning from an on-premises deployment of iManage to iManage Cloud, becoming one of the first Swiss firms to do so. All the firm’s data will be hosted at a recently opened iManage Cloud Region in Switzerland, enabling Homburger to meet the needs of clients with specific geo-location requirements for their data. iManage offers customers ten global iManage Cloud Regions to choose from, including the new centre in Switzerland, which has strict data processing regulations. Built on Microsoft Azure, each iManage Cloud Region consists of three independent data centres.

To assist in its migration to iManage Cloud, Homburger is working with local iManage partner IRIS Nederland. “Partnering with Homburger on their move to the iManage Cloud is a true milestone, not just for IRIS, but for the legal industry in Switzerland,” said Ralph Willems a sales executive at IRIS Nederland.

Homburger expects its migration to iManage Cloud to be complete by midyear 2025. Once fully live, the firm will have approximately 375 users using iManage Cloud. In particular, the firm says it is looking forward to enabling its professionals to leverage the co-authoring functionality and deep Microsoft Teams integration that the iManage platform provides.

“Homburger has long been known for intelligently combining legal expertise with the latest technology,” said David Oser, a partner at Homburger. “Moving to iManage Cloud was a logical step for us. It allows us to continue delivering seamless work of the highest quality while offering enhanced levels of security and meeting any specific data residency requirements our valuable client base might have.”
