iManage today (25 March) announced that the Microsoft Co-authoring capability within the iManage knowledge Work platform is now generally available, meaning users can work on Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents simultaneously across teams.
Professionals can collaborate on documents in real-time or at their own pace, with no need to wait for colleagues to finish before making forward progress. The ability to access and edit content on the iManage platform from anywhere, and co-author documents in real time, reduces friction around collaboration and boosts efficiency, security, and productivity.
“Next Generation co-authoring will serve as a powerful productivity driver for the iManage knowledge work platform,” said Neil Araujo, CEO, iManage. “Benefiting from our deep partnership with Microsoft allows us to give customers a new way to achieve seamless, secure, and efficient document collaboration, without disrupting their workflows or compromising security or compliance. We are pleased to see so many of our customers taking advantage of iManage and Microsoft Co-authoring to optimize their overall productivity and their ability to deliver the best tools to their workforce to collaborate safely and efficiently.”
Document revisions made in real time appear in the iManage timeline view, allowing document owners to see who edited the file and when. If need be, users can roll back to earlier revisions and catch in-between changes, correct errors, and refine content before locking in a new version.
