Document Collaboration

Even in a day of technological advancement, two heads are still better than one! Business professionals know this, and because they know this, many have implemented -or are considering the implementation of document collaboration solutions in their workplace. Document Collaboration Solutions, or groupware, allow many people to combine their intellect and experience in order to create documents, proposals, presentations, and budgets that are polished and highly accurate. Above all, groupware allows businesses to create documents FAST!

Document collaboration products, like most products, are easiest to find after a little comparison. Some of the most popular group collaboration softwareoptions are the following: Documentum, FileNet, and Groove Sharepoint. These document collaboration options are useful and are implemented within many businesses. However, these products do require an IT infrastructure, and an often lengthy set-up period. NextPage® 2 Document Collaboration groupware, however, can be installed within minutes, requires no IT infrastructure, and does not require a central server.

Imagine for a moment, that you are working on a company proposal.You want it to be perfect, so you send it to a number of your co-workers for review. They make the needed revisions, and send their versions of the proposal back to you. With NextPage’s Document Collaboration Technologies, you simply merge the various versions of the document into one final version. This version, of course, can be edited as much, and as often as you like, with little or no hassle for you and your co-workers.

NextPage technology includes the Digital Thread™, which tracks your document through e-mail, and your desktop, in order to keep track of every change that occurs throughout the creation and revision of your document. With NextPage 2 Document Collaboration Technologies used in the Activity Center, you will know who has made changes to your document, when those changes were made, what the changes were, where the various versions of the document are stored, and how each version fits together.
