Case Study: Barnes & Thornburg achieves streamlined collaboration and stronger data security with iManage Cloud

Barnes & Thornburg prioritizes people and value in the iManage Cloud

Barnes & Thornburg, a top-100 U.S. law firm with more than 800 lawyers in 23 offices, faced rising costs and complexity maintaining on-prem document systems while trying to free attorneys and IT to focus on higher-value work. With a motto of “Change is relentless,” CIO Joan Holman prioritized people, time, and security as the firm evaluated cloud alternatives and chose a partner that could support long-term adoption and stability.

The firm migrated to iManage Cloud (iManage Work 10 along with Threat Manager and Security Policy Manager), consolidating documents into a single, secure platform that’s now core to how attorneys work. The move delivered high user adoption, faster document findability and collaboration, stronger data protection and monitoring, easier administration, and a scalable foundation that lets the firm focus on client work and future innovation such as AI.
