Why Consulting Firms Need a Smarter Approach to Information

5 Ways Information Management Platforms Produce Deep Value for Business Consulting Companies explains how consulting firms face mounting pressure from industry disruption, rising client expectations, and increasingly complex engagements. As the eBook highlights, consulting firms rely on knowledge as their core product, yet information is often scattered across silos, stored in outdated systems, and handled manually. This chaos reduces productivity, slows delivery, and creates security and compliance exposure. Intelligent information management gives consulting firms the structure needed to support growth and improve client service.

How Intelligent Information Management Creates Efficiency and Competitive Advantage

The eBook describes how intelligent information management centralizes documents, applies metadata to give structure, and automates repetitive tasks across engagements. AI assists with classification, sensitive data detection, and extraction of key information, while workflows ensure proposals, contracts, project deliverables, and reviews move smoothly without bottlenecks. Unified content provides 360 degree visibility into client work, eliminates redundant processes, reduces administrative waste, and strengthens security with dynamic permissions. Together, these capabilities help consulting firms deliver value faster, more consistently, and with less operational friction.
