iManage, the company dedicated to Making Knowledge WorkTM, announced that it has expanded the data centre footprint that supports the iManage Cloud knowledge work platform by adding new data centres in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) built on Microsoft Azure. The expansion allows iManage to better serve organisations that not only need the security, resilience, and performance of the iManage Cloud but also need to keep their data in specific geographic locations due to data sovereignty requirements, client mandates, or other reasons.
The UAE data centre is operational with a number of clients already live, while the Swiss data centre is expected to go live in of this year. Client demand for this data centre is growing rapidly. Leading Swiss law firm OBERSON ABELS https://obersonabels.com/en/home/ has already signed up for iManage Cloud to be delivered via the new Swiss data centre.
“Due to the nature of the clients we serve and the services we offer, data sovereignty is a top priority for us,” said Olivier Mermoud, CTO, OBERSON ABELS. “iManage Cloud already ticked all the right boxes for us around security and governance. By opening a new data centre in Switzerland, iManage has squarely addressed our data residency needs, ensuring that customer data never leaves the country – not even for indexing or processing.”

- Scalability. With Microsoft Azure’s scalable infrastructure, iManage can accommodate the evolving needs of its customers, allowing them to grow and adapt effortlessly.
“We understand that in certain markets, data sovereignty requirements are highly specific,” said Chris RuBert, Executive Vice President of Cloud Operations & Support Services, at iManage. “Leveraging the advanced infrastructure of Microsoft Azure allows us to create a global network of data centres to better support our customers and meet their needs. With our data centres in Switzerland and the UAE, we are giving customers access to the knowledge work platform they depend on while providing them with more options around where their data is domiciled.”
