AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Blue Technologies Smart Solutions for Access and Support Services
for iManage Data Management Systems
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year agreement with Blue Technologies
Smart Solutions ("BlueTech") for continued access and support services for the
iManage Data Management Systems ("iManage") for the period of August 1, 2024
through July 31, 2027 in the amount of $128,529, which includes the annual billing

pay for additional support/maintenance and training services as directed by the City
(Agreement No. A-2024-XXX).

DISCUSSION
In 2018, the City's Attorney's Office ("CAO") entered into an agreement with BlueTech
to install and implement an iManage Data Management Systems customized for the
CAO reflecting the vast scope of legal services provided by the office. Since that
implementation went into effect, the on -going impact and efficiency provided by the
iManage system cannot be overstated and City authorized renewal of the service in
2021.
Work product with iManage seamlessly integrates with all Microsoft products, creating a
quick and reliable method for creation of CAO work product and access to files for all
CAO staff. iManage also provides access from court, off -site depositions, and other
locations.
For this renewal, CAO staff contacted similar and highly rated data management
vendors for demonstrations and costs as to their services. Demonstrations provided
new insight for specific calendaring and litigation tools with potential benefit to CAO.
However, the iManage system, with its broad data management tools, mobile and

provisions of such Sections and to pursue any other remedy to which BTSS may
be entitled. The City acknowledges that BTSS's remedy at law for any of the City
's obligations under such Sections and such other terms of this Agreement as
may be applicable will be inadequate, and the City agrees and consents that
temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding
which may be brought to enforce any provision thereof, without the necessity of
proof of actual damage.
B. If BTSS seeks a restraining order, an injunction or any form of equitable relief and

attorney fees, court costs and other costs and expenses as may be incurred by

to no further appeal, pursuant to which City shall be determined to have
breached its obligations under this Agreement or made any misrepresentations,
City shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any award of damages, reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and other costs and expenses incurred by BTSS when
obtaining such judgment. Any relief awarded under this subsection C shall be in
addition to any relief awarded under subsection B.

such judicial determination and shall run for a period of two years (2) from that
date.
E. City hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any local, state
or federal court located in the County of Cuyahoga and the State of Ohio for any
proceeding against City for any obligation under this Agreement and waives any

such court in any such action or proceeding or any claim that any such court is an
inconvenient forum.

of this Agreement, any controversy arising under or out of this Agreement shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association as administered through the Cleveland, Ohio office.
The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and judgment may be entered upon
it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including a
federal district court, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. In preparation for the
arbitration hearing, each party may utilize all methods of discovery in the manner
provided by said rules and/or by the Ohio Arbitration Law. Judgment upon the award
of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and enforced
with full judicial effect thereafter.

Employee contained herein is held to be too broad to be enforced, such covenant
shall be construed to create an obligation to the full extent permitted by Ohio law.

Agreement by City shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by City.

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, purchase orders, understandings and negotiations, whether oral or
written, between the parties hereto with respect to such subject matters. This
Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed
by the party against wherever enforcement of any action, change, modification or
extension is sought.
