document production and review

Almost every department in an organization produces documents of one type or another. To name but a few scenarios: Business Development responding to an RFP, Marketing collating a press release, HR producing new policies and procedures, the IT department consulting on specifications and reviewing source code for a new implementation and Product Development requiring feedback on proposed functionality…

By using our authoring and review solutions for these document collaboration processes you will reduce both the length of time needed for the document’s creation and review and the number of review cycles required. No need to endlessly recreate content, manage multiple emails with large document attachments to download, spend time copying and pasting from PDF files, attend endless meetings or time-consuming conference calls. Documents can be created, written and reviewed in a unique, controlled, simple to use point & click browser-based environment. Emails are used for review and co-authoring notification only, so there is a single definitive copy of the document for participants to work on, ensuring there is no version incompatibility, style or formatting issues. Assigned editors and reviewers can contribute to and review documents in parallel and simultaneously.

By facilitating the production of quality documents and providing savings in both time and effort, the benefits can be appreciated throughout the company.
