Content Services & Document Management

Knowledge Management

Your organisation already knows the answer. Knowledge management makes expertise, precedents and documents findable, so people reuse knowledge instead of recreating it.

Why it matters

Valuable knowledge sits in documents, emails and the heads of experienced colleagues. Professionals spend hours searching or start from scratch, and knowledge walks out of the door when people leave.

Generative AI can unlock that knowledge, but only if content is governed and access rights are respected.

Where it fits

In the Canon Information Orchestration Framework, this solution draws on two practices.

Content Services & Document Management

Governed document and email management with AI-powered search, so the right precedent or expertise is found in seconds.

Intelligent Document Processing

AI that understands unstructured documents and answers questions across whole files, with the source shown.

What we propose most often

iManage with iManage Insight for legal and professional services, and Instabase for asking questions across large sets of unstructured documents.

How we usually start

We usually start with one knowledge domain, such as precedents or contract templates, and make it findable and reusable.

Access rights and ethical walls are respected from the start, so AI and search only surface what each person may see.

Platforms we use most in this sector

Which platform we propose depends on your process and systems. These are the ones we deploy most often here, delivered by Canon IMS under one contract.

IRIS Nederland, a Canon IMS competence centre, has implemented knowledge and document management for leading law firms across Europe.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI search our knowledge safely?

Yes. With governed platforms such as iManage, AI only surfaces content the user is allowed to see, and the iManage MCP Server keeps ethical walls in place.

Where do we start with knowledge management?

With one knowledge domain that is used often, such as precedents or templates, and make it findable before extending further.

Does it work for unstructured documents?

Yes. Instabase understands unstructured documents in any format and answers questions across whole files, showing the source.
