London-based full service business consultancy Dragon Argent has appointed Ascertus to implement a new document and email management system in the firm’s iManage Cloud. The document lifecycle management consultancy specialises in providing software solutions and IT support services to law firms and corporate legal departments.

Professional service firms are taking advantage of cloud-based solutions to achieve new levels of productivity and agility while reducing capital expense and on-going cost of ownership. The iManage Cloud is built on the latest technologies adopted by the largest cloud vendors to provide elastic compute and storage with uninterrupted services using a continuous automated delivery model. To that end, Dragon Argent is looking to deploy a new document and email management from iManage Cloud.

James Phipson, Managing Director, Dragon Argent said, “We are a rapidly growing consultancy across all our expertise areas, and it’s important that we deploy the most scalable and proven technology to support this growth… Document management is a critical business function and it’s important that we get it right. iManage Work is a time-tested system, which many of us in the firm have experience of in our previous roles.”

The iManage Work solution is hoped to streamline the document management function at Dragon Argent, helping it to provide a structured, coherent, and secure data storage solution, while delivering enhanced efficiency to the business. Especially amid the remote working business environment of 2020, these capabilities could make all the difference for Dragon Argent – especially should there be a second coronavirus lockdown in the future.

In order to help implement the new system, the London-based consultancy has appointed Ascertus to help oversee the project. Also based in London, Ascertus is a consultancy which provides tailored information and document lifecycle management solutions – both on-premises and via the cloud – to professional services organisations, law firms and corporate legal departments across the UK and Europe. The firm also specialises in iManage implementations, having recently been awarded the EMEA Cloud Excellence Partner 2019 by iManage earlier in 2020.

“Dragon Argent will greatly benefit from iManage Cloud. Once deployed, the solution will seamlessly scale as the business grows,” Jon Wainwright, Sales and Marketing Director of Ascertus, commented. “More crucially, the firm doesn’t need to worry about upgrading the solution ever – on iManage Cloud, Dragon Argent will always be on the latest version of iManage Work.”

Following the implementation, users at Dragon Argent will be able to access iManage Cloud from anywhere, at any time and from any device, without compromising on user experience or efficiency. The ability to capture emails and the corresponding attachments within client project folders will enable the users to consolidate all matter-related information, and enhance content visibility, information sharing and responsiveness to customers.
