NetDocuments Delivers New Productivity, Mobility and Workflow Solutions at ILTACON 2021

22/8/2021
Salt Lake City, UT
ndMAX introduces AI-powered solutions that address a range of legal workflows
securely inside NetDocuments, helping legal professionals responsibly adopt generative AI technology.
PatternBuilder MAX, the first product in the ndMAX AI suite, is in full production with select customers and will be widely available in Q3 2023.

NetDocuments, the leading cloud content management platform for legal professionals, today introduced several new technologies aimed at enriching the experiences of legal professionals. ILTACON 2021 provides the ideal setting for NetDocuments to showcase its philosophy of “Attorney-Inspired Innovation.” Among the new capabilities unveiled today are greater flexibility while working remote, increased productivity and insights, and deeper integrations with Microsoft technologies.

These enhancements are all available as part of NetDocuments’ Work Inspired Solutions, a comprehensive portfolio of legal technologies launched at ILTACON 2020. Work Inspired Solutions have been adopted by more than 1,125 existing NetDocuments law firm and corporate legal customers during the pandemic.

NetDocuments will be introducing and demonstrating the following technologies and enhancements during ILTACON 2021:

  1. ndKeyboard: Boosting mobility. Enables quick and secure document sharing on mobile devices by creating an intuitive way to insert a link or attachment without ever changing applications – just a single tap to switch mobile keyboards. Included in ORGANIZE, ndKeyboard works with any application including Outlook and MS Teams, as well as on both iOS and Android.
  2. Workspace Analytics: Increasing productivity visibility. A part of the LEARN solution, Workspace Analytics provides actionable intelligence across a matter or project, so users can see commonly accessed documents, a timeline of document activity, most active lawyers on the matter, and more.
  3. DocuSign eSignature for NetDocuments: Automating workflow. Users can easily send, receive, and track e-signatures for documents as part of their standard workflow. This native integration with DocuSign eSignature, the world’s #1 way to sign electronically on practically any device, is part of ORGANIZE and is expected to be available in Q4 2021.
  4. Microsoft integrations: Enhancing cloud-to-cloud connectivity. NetDocuments continues to expand its deep integrations with Microsoft Teams, Power Automate, and Microsoft 365. ChatLink enhancements (included with PLAN) provide simplified document references as well as more powerful synching between NetDocuments and Microsoft. This enables legal professionals to keep their files secure, while still being able to easily edit and collaborate.
  5. Activity Center/ndOffice synching: Increasing offline and mobile flexibility. Lawyers want to access files remotely, even when they don’t have access to the internet. Working closely with legal professionals, NetDocuments’ design team reimagined the NetDocuments Activity Center to enable this. Now favorite or recently available documents can be accessed even offline, with changes being synched and uploaded as a new version, once users are again connected. Included with ORGANIZE.
  6. Delegate homepage management: Enhancing legal tech collaboration. By favoriting documents and workspaces, a lawyer can quickly find links to work-product directly on the homepage. Now with delegate homepage management, lawyers can let their support staff organize their homepage for them, preloading it with relevant materials that automatically downloaded to the local system, and available within the Activity Center. Included with ORGANIZE.

“These enhancements are what we mean when we talk about ‘Attorney-Inspired Innovations.’ They are derived from close engagement with legal professionals and improve their productivity and happiness with our products,” said Dan Hauck, NetDocuments’ Chief Product Officer. “Each solution provides unique and enduring value for customers. And we are looking forward to sharing even more at INSPIRE, our user conference this November.”

Product Innovation and Market Momentum

Since launching Work Inspired Solutions 12 months ago, NetDocuments has experienced 62% growth of new solution sales and add-ons compared to the prior year. In addition, 63% of sales to existing customers came from the new Work Inspired Solutions.

Last week, NetDocuments reported unprecedented growth in 2Q21, with its largest new sales Q2 in company history. In particular, 2Q21 was a record second quarter for new NetDocuments customer acquisition among Am Law and Global 100 firms in its Strategic Law segment. Within the last two quarters, NetDocuments has switched three Am Law 100 firms from competitive providers. The company also added to its record 1Q21 in sales into corporations, representing a 163% increase compared to 2Q20, as more law firms and their clients choose NetDocuments, together.

NetDocuments CEO, Josh Baxter, commented on the company’s successful launch of the Work Inspired Solutions and its rapid growth. “We have always equipped our customers with the cloud technology and tools they need to be more productive and continually push innovation. Customers are now flocking to our new solutions and starting to put them to use in mobile/remote and hybrid environments. The innovative solutions we are launching are inspired by the work our customers are trying to deliver to their clients.”

In addition to participating in the ILTACON G100 CIO sessions, Josh Baxter, Dan Hauck, and CTO Alvin Tedjamulia will be delivering the NetDocuments company update on Tuesday, 12:45PM. ILTACON attendees can join the live stream or go to Oceanside Ballroom A at Mandalay Bay onsite.
