Today NetDocuments launched ChatLink, an integration that links Microsoft Teams to NetDocuments. With ChatLink, Teams users now connect channels with NetDocuments workspaces and secure threads.
As many professionals around the world are working from home, real-time messaging applications like Teams have seen tremendous growth. Yet without proper integration to key business solutions like NetDocuments, information governance strategies can become fractured as critical business documents are spread across multiple systems.
NetDocuments Teams ChatLink solves this challenge by making it easy to bring NetDocuments into the Teams experience. Administrators can manually or programmatically associate a channel with an existing NetDocuments matter or project, making documents available in a tab within the channel. Likewise, an embedded view of associated chats in ndThread, allowing for multiple conversations to happen within a matter while securing them to the matter file.
