Case Study: Hanson Bridgett saved $100,000 and migrated 60 years of records in two weeks with iManage
Key results
The challenge
Hanson Bridgett, a California law firm, ran a legacy records system built for accounting rather than records management, with slow database updates and an inability to process more than 10 files at a time. The bottlenecks drove escalating physical storage costs across 30,000 boxes of records.
The solution
The firm deployed iManage Records Manager integrated with its existing iManage Work platform, configured with customized retention schedules, administrative and legal holds, and multi-location support, implemented by partner InfoCompass.
“If we want to destroy a whole box, it's one click of a button in Records Manager, and the whole box is destroyed, with all the same notations placed in every single file.”

The results, in context
Hanson Bridgett reported $100,000 in total savings to date and cut average monthly storage fees by $2,000. Each records clerk can now process 500 to 600 file destructions per month, up from 10, and the firm migrated 60 years of records in two weeks while reaching 100% user adoption.
