When your document has to be as accurate as it is good looking.

Author

You focus on the words. We’ll take care of the rest.

Produce documents faster with collaborative authoring

Speed up your project by enabling multiple authors, reviewers and approvers to work on different document content at the same time.

Work on the words, not the format

No matter who is adding content to your document, you won’t waste valuable time reformatting, because publishing templates are built to your exact requirements.

Cascade a change across multiple documents

Updates to common clauses or images can be applied in the common content library and cascaded through all relevant documents instantly.

Eliminate the risk of ‘missing something’

Remove the headache of multiple document versions by having everyone work on a single source of the truth.

Approve

Your stakeholders’ time is scarce: use it wisely with a faster, more efficient approval process.

Reduce the burden of multiple rounds of reviews with multiple stakeholders

Assign team members, subject matter experts, managers and executives specific sections of a document for review and approval.

Collect supporting evidence, while you work

Editor and review notes can be added as contextual information. As comments and changes are made at a content and document level, approvers can save time thanks to having all supporting evidence at their fingertips without needing to open other files.

Lock your content once it’s approved

Once approval has been given, the section of content is locked. You’ll never need to re-review, re-approve or recheck for additional changes made by a colleague, manager, graphic designer or typesetter.

Manage

Manage your documents and stakeholders effectively

Use tasks and workflow to drive team activity

Colleagues can work together with shared templates, content and workflows to build impactful, cohesive and consistently structured and branded interactive policy and strategy documents. Choose between simple and advanced workflows to direct your team through the document lifecycle. Automatic task assignment and activity tracking frees up your time from admin to focus on the content.

Process dashboards for management

See at a glance where your document is in the process; identify bottlenecks and follow up with your team’s tasks. Change history, version management, content approvals, comments and actions are all audited and tracked.

Publish your document approvals trail in an instant

For when you need to show who did what and when. Publish a complete verification certificate showing every edit, note and approval. Fully audited review, verification and sign-off processes are managed using workflows, ensuring both statutory and policy requirements are adhered to.

Consult

Manage structured feedback from stakeholders and the community

Be more agile and responsive

In-line, document-based feedback allows you to analyse, respond and report faster to the community during the consultation phase of the document lifecycle.

Be Inclusive! Pick your communication type to suit your purpose and your audience

Everyone communicates differently. Choose from a variety of response mechanisms such as polls, surveys, discussion boards, petitions and more.

Understand your audience over time

Continually build a profile of your users, including their preferences and what documents they have submitted feedback on historically.
