Interwoven has deep legal roots, having set foundations in the realm of law as early as 2004, if not earlier.

This, and the company’s history in the ECM realm, are two good reasons why Salans, an international law firm, has chosen Interwoven to assist in its One Firm, One Approach Initiative.

Interwoven will be replacing Salans’ existing Hummingbird solution with WorkSite, a proprietary program that will assist lawyers and other employees to better manage (and, of course, share) documents on a more secure and intuitive platform.

A document management system like Hummingbird fares best for a specific set of tasks within one organization; in particular, it suits well for data organization and collaboration, as well as compliance-oriented file management and recovery.

The trouble is, a doc management platform isn’t always scalable across multiple platforms and companies. For something like that, you need a robust enterprise CMS.
