NetDocuments Releases ndThread™ for Secure Messaging and Collaboration Among Professionals
SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) May 23, 2018 -- NetDocuments, the leading cloud-based content management platform for law firms and corporate legal and compliance departments, has officially released ndThread, a social collaboration and matter-based messaging tool built within the NetDocuments cloud platform – now available to NetDocuments customers and prospects worldwide. The ndThread product comes to market less than six months after NetDocuments acquired the ThreadKM collaborative messaging technology. ndThread is available as a native cloud service embedded within the NetDocuments platform and accessible through the web, desktop and mobile applications.
Dan Hauck, former CEO of ThreadKM and current VP of Product and User Experience at NetDocuments said: “NetDocuments’ ability to quickly incorporate the ThreadKM technology into its global cloud service speaks to the incredible power and efficiency of a native cloud platform. The same encryption, security, compliance, indexing, and search functionality of NetDocuments’ robust service now extends to all aspects of the ndThread product, helping firms not only improve their internal collaboration but also elevate their information governance, reducing the need for professionals to rely on outside technologies to quickly and effectively communicate.”
Available as an add-on feature to existing NetDocuments customers, ndThread provides a more complete electronic matter file by incorporating threaded conversations and document-level messaging within NetDocuments existing matter-centric workspaces and enterprise search engine. ndThread extends the value and depth of information contained in a matter and dramatically reduces the over-reliance and inefficiencies related to internal, email-based conversations.
“We started looking at [predecessor product] ThreadKM as an innovative alternative to traditional email communication before the NetDocuments acquisition, so now having ndThread as part of the NetDocuments platform presents a win-win scenario,” said David Pray, Chief Transformation Officer at Bailey & Glasser LLP. “We look forward to immediately leveraging ndThread as part of our NetDocuments platform investment.”
Key features and functionality of ndThread include:
• Matter-based, threaded conversations
• Ad-hoc, real-time discussions among colleagues
• Global and contextual document annotations
• Push notifications to any device
Prior to ndThread’s general availability, NetDocuments worked closely with a group of beta-tester customers to ensure usability, scalability and test the overall user experience. Several customers moving to NetDocuments have already signed up for ndThread as part of their upcoming rollouts.
“After seeing ndThread in action, some of our attorneys have already asked us when they can start using it based on its practicality and what appears to be a very simple learning curve. I foresee ndThread not only becoming a popular technology at Bailey & Glasser but reaching high, almost viral-like user adoption across the legal market based on the principal of attraction—because it’s useful and helps me communicate better versus IT and marketing having to sell it and promote it to the user base,” concluded Pray.
NetDocuments will hold a live webinar demonstration highlighting the ndThread functionality on May 30, 2018 at 11am EDT. Details and registration: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2256564388172229891
