Thomson Reuters today (9 July) announced the launch of CoCounsel Knowledge Search to help organizations simultaneously search for information across their various content repositories and surface it in their CoCounsel workflow.
Knowledge management systems and content repositories are fragmented and often lack basic integration capabilities. CoCounsel Knowledge Search, which leverages GPT 4.o can access content from HighQ, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, OneDrive, Thomson Reuters content from Westlaw and Practical Law, and third-party sources.
“Customer centricity is a value Thomson Reuters lives and breathes, and our integrated solution directly answers the evolving needs of legal professionals,” said Rawia Ashraf, head of product at CoCounsel Transactional and Corporates in Thomson Reuters. “With CoCounsel Knowledge Search, users can search where they are currently working in CoCounsel, alleviating the necessity to search their various document management systems, find and download documents, and then move them to the required portal. Knowledge Search looks across a user’s various repositories, finds the relevant documents, surfaces insights and answers, and connects to key applications to streamline the workflow.”
Thomson Reuters says that CoCounsel Knowledge Search keeps the data within the customer’s domain – ensuring security and compliance protocols.
We’re told that it doesn’t bypass the need for Westlaw Edge UK for CoCounsel because it can only display Westlaw content that a customer has access to through Westlaw Edge UK. TR also says it is doubling down on its partnership with Syncly, which synchronises data across various repositories.
We’ll bring you more information on this as we get it.
