For Consultants
Imports documents into new or existing iManage environments, and provides full baseline and delta migration audits you can hand to the client.

Features
Cloud and on-premises
Works with iManage Work cloud and on-premises servers through the Universal API.
Folder structure preserved
Creates workspaces and nested folders as needed, and imports straight into existing folders.
Security inheritance
Documents inherit the access list of the folder they land in, so permissions match your design.
Metadata inheritance
New folders and documents inherit profile fields from their parent or workspace; values in your file list always win.
Document number control
Preserve source document numbers, and park the docnum counter safely ahead of your migration range with automatic cleanup.
Optional auto-generation
Missing custom values, workspaces and users can be created automatically. Review everything on an approval page first, or leave it switched off.
Long path support
Files with paths beyond the 260-character Windows limit, including network (UNC) paths, import without renaming or flattening your folders. Verified on iManage cloud and on-premises.
Large file support
Files over 2 GB import successfully. They are streamed rather than loaded into memory, with generous upload timeouts. Verified on iManage cloud and on-premises.
Template workspaces
Create workspaces from a template with a configurable template field.
Duplicate detection
Documents that already exist are tracked separately from successes and errors, and never double-counted.
Detailed logs and reports
Persistent success, error and duplicate logs with row numbers and the original source line, plus a migration report.
Guided, wizard-style workflow
A step-by-step interface with clear status cues, built for migration teams rather than developers.
Benefits
Fewer migration errors
Validated profiles, pre-checks and clear error messages catch problems before they cost you time.
Confidence in the numbers
Success, already-existed and error counts stay separate, so totals can be trusted and reconciled.
Safe to re-run
Restart an interrupted migration without creating duplicates.
Security done right
Access rights follow the destination folders from day one, with no after-the-fact clean-up.
Faster delivery
Automate what used to be scripts and spreadsheets, and spend your time on the content, not the plumbing.
Full audit trail
Every document, every outcome, saved to log files you can hand to the client.
Free tool: File Share Report Scanner
Scans a file share and builds the import file for the File Share Importer. It keeps a baseline snapshot, then reports only what is new, modified or moved since the last run, so it supports both baseline and delta migrations. Enter your details and we will send it to you.
Pricing
Unlimited use of the importer for the term you choose. No per-document or per-gigabyte fees.
Prices in US dollars. Orders are confirmed by Mattricity, and your license is issued after payment.
