Digital Signature

Digital Signatures provide basic version information every time a tracked document is attached to a Microsoft Outlook e-mail. A link is provided that allows users to see in real time if they still have latest version of a document.

Version History

In addition to a signature that provides basic version information, groupware with a Version History feature enables a display of document genealogy or family tree. Version History is a flow chart or visual display of who, what, when, where, and how of document.

After utilizing these groupware technologies, merging changes is very simple. With just three clicks, you can compare different versions of a document. All of changes are recorded and tracked, and all of options are at your finger tips when deciding how information will be presented in its final format. The ad hoc mess has essentially been cleaned up behind you and presented to you in an organized system to allow final document to be complete, as well as having a helpful version trail to refer to in case other changes are necessary in future.
