You know the drill: the right content. In the right format. With the right approvals. Using the right process. Incorporating the right feedback.
It’s really hard for today’s teams to keep up with the growing burden of regulated documents that government and industry regulators demand. For many organisations, it’s still a manual process; and you might find you’ve become stuck with disconnected tools that are not fit for purpose.
Objective Keystone has everything you need in one place. A full suite of authoring, publishing and stakeholder engagement tools to automate and manage the entire document production lifecycle. The result: increased speed-to-publishing and a lower cost of compliance.
Speed up your project by enabling multiple authors, reviewers and approvers to work on different document content at the same time.
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.
Updates to common clauses or images can be applied in the common content library and cascaded through all relevant documents instantly.
Remove the headache of multiple document versions by having everyone work on a single source of the truth.
Assign team members, subject matter experts, managers and executives specific sections of a document for review and approval.
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.
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.
Save time producing print-ready, digital and HTML versions with a single click using our multi-target publishing engine.
Easily make last-minute changes and republish in one click without requiring an internal or external typesetter, graphic designer or publisher.
Produce your documents in multiple brands with ease from a single source document.
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.
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.
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.
In-line, document-based feedback allows you to analyse, respond and report faster to the community during the consultation phase of the document lifecycle.
Everyone communicates differently. Choose from a variety of response mechanisms such as polls, surveys, discussion boards, petitions and more.
Continually build a profile of your users, including their preferences and what documents they have submitted feedback on historically.
Social media integration enables you to embed polls and surveys on Facebook. Capture tweets and hashtags in our system of record to remain compliant with record keeping legislation. Log in using your LinkedIn or Google account.
Provide citizens with an easy-to-use, full-screen interactive mapping experience. Allow them to browse, search and filter both textually and geospatially to find information of interest, or discover relevant policy/regulations/content for a particular location.
Give citizens the option to subscribe to a location and receive notifications when you release new or updated information relevant to the area of interest.
Remove the overhead of data duplication by integrating Objective Keystone with your existing GIS system. Surface all of your standard layers and features on a variety of base maps.
From common content identification and extraction through to a comprehensive audit of every action; maintenance of historic versions of documents; and supporting notes and contextual information.
Thanks to fully audited review, verification and sign-off processes managed using workflows.
Involving single or multiple stakeholders, authorities, and across all your documents.
Use automatically generated verification certificates detailing evidence points for key statements and performance data.
All traffic to and from the system can optionally be encrypted to ensure all traffic is protected against network interception, cache browsing and other attach mechanisms.
Every content item uploaded from any user and in any format is automatically scanned for virus and other malware that may cause data loss or other problems.
Access is governed by user identification and passwords. It can be strengthened by only accepting access requests from known networks.
