The Content layer of the Canon Information Orchestration Framework

Canon organises information management in four movements: Capture, Content, Communicate and Process. iManage is the Content layer for legal and professional services: the governed home of the work product, connected to the processes and AI tools around it.

One governed home for content, connected to capture on the way in and to processes on the way out.

Trusted by leading law firms

IRIS, a Canon IMS competence centre, has implemented iManage for leading law firms in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Nordics, including an award-winning migration to iManage Cloud.

Governed AI access with the iManage MCP Server

Released in 2026, the iManage MCP Server lets compatible AI systems securely access governed iManage content without custom integrations or bulk exports, while security, ethical walls and compliance controls stay in place. IRIS supports organisations in putting it into production.

Knowledge you can find and reuse

AI-powered search and iManage Insight help professionals find the right precedent or expertise quickly, turning collective knowledge into results instead of leaving it buried in folders.

Security built around need-to-know

Need-to-know access, ethical walls, threat detection and full activity logging protect the most sensitive client information, with governance applied automatically.

Migration to iManage Cloud, done right

Moving from on-premises to iManage Cloud is a specialist job. IRIS runs cloud migrations, data integrations and add-ons for iManage, and supports users with training and managed support.

Where it fits

iManage is our choice for law firms, in-house legal teams and professional services where the document is the work product. For broader enterprise content and processes outside legal, Hyland OnBase or IRISNext may fit better.

We propose what fits your process, not what we happen to sell.
