Case Study: Banner Witcoff achieves seamless, secure cloud document management and operational efficiency with iManage Work 10 in the Cloud

Banner Witcoff goes from on premises to leading edge with iManage Cloud

Banner Witcoff, a 100‑year leader in intellectual property law with four U.S. offices, faced a decision about replacing its legacy on‑premises document system (DeskSite). Incoming CTO Bill Siskoff was tasked by the board to evaluate whether to keep document management on premises or move to a cloud‑native platform that could handle large documents and heavy Exchange workloads while improving availability and reducing infrastructure headaches.

The firm migrated to iManage Work 10 in the Cloud and adopted iManage Threat Manager, Security Policy Manager, and Records Manager to automate governance and enforce ethical walls. The move reduced IT administration, ensured always‑on access and up‑to‑date security on Microsoft Azure, improved collaboration (including co‑authoring), and freed lawyers and IT to focus on clients and innovation — with future AI capabilities now on the roadmap.
