Do any corporate legal departments use document management programs? I transitioned about a year ago from a firm to a company and the legal dept now just used network folders and it’s a hot mess trying to save and track versions. Never thought I’d miss anything from firm life, but document management software is one thing I really miss.

We use NetDocs at our firm. Love it!

That was the main thing I missed too!

Very rarely! Most don't.

Agree, couldn't believe I'd miss anything other than the pay from law firm life, but this is a big one

I worked for a fortune 10 company and we used PCDocs.. now Worlddocs

No, nothing. It’s a mess.

Nope, we don’t use anything either.

What did you guys use at your firm? NetDocs or something similar?

Is NetDocs good, we’re considering them?

Yes, iManage.

We use iManage

Hey guys. When looking at the forums around consulting and MBA the EY Tech MBA is rarely mentioned in a positive way and the same goes for Hult.

However I think there is a real need for Hult to improve their Bran and reputation. So my question to you is simply. Do you think this will ever happen?
