Why Now Matters: Redefining the Role of the Intelligent DMS

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT  
Host: ALA Legal Marketplace
By: Michelle Spencer, Lead Product Marketing Manager, NetDocuments and Jake Evans, Senior Solutions Expert, NetDocuments

The legal industry is at a pivotal inflection point. AI, automation, and rising expectations from clients and top talent are reshaping how legal work gets done and what legal teams need from their technology.

It’s no longer enough for your document management system (DMS) to store and organize your content. The intelligent DMS is becoming the strategic foundation for modern legal work — enriching document context automatically, driving intelligent workflows, and enabling secure AI adoption.

In this exciting session, you'll hear:

  • Why now is the moment to rethink the role your DMS plays: See how legal leaders are moving beyond point solutions toward a platform that connects content, context, and intelligence — seamlessly and securely.
  • How AI profiling is making it easier to find what you need: Discover how enriched metadata and intelligent classification lay the foundation for secure, structured content with additional context to power workflow automation and the next generation of search.
  • What agentic AI can look like for legal professionals: Explore the evolution from chat assistants to agentic AI that can plan and complete tasks with a demo of NetDocuments first agentic AI tool for editing in Word.
  • More about innovations with the NetDocuments intelligent DMS: Preview new features designed to make your DMS smarter, more secure, and more embedded into how legal work actually gets done, including smarter search and redefining the experience in Microsoft Word documents.

Today’s legal teams don’t need more tools — they need smarter ones. Join us to see how an intelligent DMS can automate manual work and redefine how knowledge, governance, and workflows are delivered.
