Meeting You Where You Work

In today’s fast-paced legal environment, efficiency and seamless workflow integration are not just desired, they’re required. NetDocuments is pleased to share numerous capabilities that drive even more collaboration, security, and productivity within the Microsoft 365 applications that legal professionals utilize every single day.

Integration with Microsoft Copilot Unlocks NetDocuments’ Content

From directly inside Copilot and using the NetDocuments Copilot extension, lawyers can query with natural language requests, instantly delivering results alongside links to matching content stored in NetDocuments. Users can pull up a list of recent documents edited by a colleague, or contracts drafted for a client without ever leaving Microsoft 365 applications like Outlook and Teams.

Desktop Co-Authoring Improves Collaboration and Productivity

NetDocuments will be expanding its co-authoring capabilities to include real-time desktop co-authoring in Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. As part of NetDocuments’ participation in Microsoft’s Cloud Storage Provider Program Plus (CSPP+), users can work collaboratively on documents using native co-editing capabilities via the web or desktop.

Better Email Management in Outlook

With significant enhancements to NetDocuments’ new web-based integration with Outlook, Firms and departments can have confidence knowing that the NetDocuments integration is ready and available. The same mail filing experience is available on Outlook mobile as well.

Enhanced Collaboration in Teams

NetDocuments’ revamped Teams app experience provides a seamless look and feel, trusted security, ability to access documents and make notes, all within Teams, while simultaneously leveraging the benefits of the NetDocuments platform to further reduce time spent “toggling” between applications (“toggle tax”) further improving productivity, security, and collaboration within an organization.

"Impressed with the Deep Integration"

“I was particularly impressed by the deep integration with the Microsoft 365 stack and the refined add-in design, which promises consistent user experience across platforms, complemented by its intuitive contextual awareness.”

CIO, Gilbert + Tobin
