Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lawcadia and iManage integration?
The integration connects Lawcadia’s legal operations platform with iManage, a leading document management system widely used by in-house legal teams and law firms. It allows users to access, view and edit iManage files directly from within the Lawcadia matter workspace, combining iManage’s document management capabilities with Lawcadia’s matter management, spend management, workflow automation and reporting in a single connected experience.
How does the integration handle access controls and permissions?
The integration authenticates down to the individual iManage user level through single sign-on. When a matter is created in Lawcadia, an iManage workspace is automatically created with permissions that inherit the matter settings. Matters marked as confidential in Lawcadia are automatically marked as private in iManage and locked down to specific authorised users. Permissions are synchronised automatically, with Lawcadia acting as the single source of truth.
Do documents uploaded into Lawcadia automatically appear in iManage?
Yes. Documents uploaded into Lawcadia, whether by the in-house team or received from external counsel, are automatically saved into the relevant iManage folder. The integration also automatically populates the relevant iManage metadata fields, improving searchability and reducing the manual data entry that is typically required when filing documents in a document management system.
Can users edit documents in iManage from within Lawcadia?
Yes. The full iManage viewing and editing experience is available from within the Lawcadia matter workspace. Users do not need to switch between the two platforms to work with documents, which reduces context-switching and keeps all matter activity, correspondence, documents, tasks, approvals and spend, visible in one place.
Is there a private cloud option for organisations with specific data control requirements?
Yes. For clients that require control over their own encryption keys, a private cloud option is available. This is particularly relevant for organisations in regulated industries or with strict data sovereignty requirements that need additional assurance over how their data is stored and protected.
