PowerDesktop + NetDocuments: Streamlining Cross-Platform Content Management for Legal Teams
Content management for law firms and legal departments must be agile, secure, and able to span multiple systems. Whether you're dealing with a merger, migrating legacy data, or setting up new workspaces for an incoming client, the tools your team uses to manage documents can make or break efficiency—and compliance.
That’s where PowerDesktop comes in. Built for power users managing complex, large-scale content operations, PowerDesktop enables secure and efficient movement of content between systems. And with its new NetDocuments integration, it’s never been easier to manage content across platforms like iManage and NetDocuments—a growing need for law firms and legal departments undergoing digital transformation.
What is PowerDesktop?
PowerDesktop is a robust content operations tool that streamlines how users move, validate, and manage legal content at scale. From creating structured workspaces to validating metadata and bulk-importing thousands of files, it’s a go-to solution for legal teams with complex information governance needs.
Key Capabilities of PowerDesktop Include:
- Bulk import/export of documents and emails
- Workspace creation using templates or CSV files
- Metadata validation to ensure compliance
- Content preview and search capabilities
- Support for both local and cloud-based systems
PowerDesktop is designed for users who need full control over their content workflows—whether they’re handling legacy migrations, audits, or setting up new systems from scratch.
Why NetDocuments Integration with PowerDesktop is a Game-Changer
As more firms and legal departments adopt NetDocuments for its cloud-native architecture and security benefits, there’s a growing need for tools that can support both legacy systems like iManage and modern platforms like NetDocuments—without disruption.
Before this integration, teams often had to rely on manual processes or patchwork solutions to move and manage NetDocuments content. That meant more risk, more time spent, and less control.
Now, with PowerDesktop’s native NetDocuments integration, users can:
- Eliminate manual steps in high-volume operations
- Seamlessly work across iManage and NetDocuments
- Gain visibility and control over NetDocuments content workflows
