use case

use case — professional-services knowledge network.

The professional-services firm — law firm, advisory firm, corporate-legal department — runs on the matter, the engagement, and the institutional precedent. iManage / NetDocuments holds the DMS; M365 holds the email; DocuSign holds executed agreements; outside-counsel folders + court filings live elsewhere. The matter is in 5 systems; the lawyer's job starts with re-assembling it. Federation + permissions-aware AI across the corpus is the answer.

TeamSync's answer.

1. Matter federation across the firm.

Intelligent Repository federates iManage / NetDocuments + email + eSign + outside-counsel + court-filing systems with permissions + audit preserved. The matter is one view.

2. Permissions-aware AI across the matter + the firm.

DocuTalk and Semantic Search ground answers in the matter and in firm precedent, within the user's authorised scope. Lawyer time on research drops; matter walls hold.

3. Conflict checks across the firm + matter history.

Semantic + entity-resolved conflict search; lateral-hire screen creation templated; ethical-wall enforcement at the platform.

4. eDiscovery + hold + production from the records source.

eDiscovery handles defence-discovery + matter production with statistical defensibility evidence generated.

5. Cross-border privilege + residency overlays.

Strictest-rule enforcement at the platform; per-region key custody; Schrems II posture documented per matter.

6. Cryptographic audit on privilege + conflicts decisions.

Merkle audit ledger anchors privilege calls, conflicts memos, wall implementations, claw-back actions.


Coexistence narrative.

iManage / NetDocuments stay as the DMS. TeamSync coexists for the federation + AI-grounding + cryptographic-audit + cross-border layer. See TeamSync vs iManage and TeamSync vs NetDocuments.
