Digital Signature is a signature appended to e-mails sent back and forth with draft attachments during
collaboration process that informs
user which draft it is and by whom it was saved. Finding
latest version of a document is very simple to track.
Version History ties everything together by presenting a visual flowchart outlining
“genealogy” of
document. Each draft is accounted for, and
who, what, when, where, and why of
document and its drafts are always answered.
Merge is usually
final and most difficult step of document collaboration. However, adopting
right collaboration software simplifies this process by allowing you to compare
changes in a document, even when those changes are saved in different locations or in your email account. Merging documents is often synonymous with sifting through document chaos, but collaboration software suites which can manage ad hoc business collaboration simplify
tracking and merging of document drafts.
Conclusion
Businesses move quickly, and collaboration software needs to be able to keep up. Business collaboration can be a messy ad hoc process, and collaboration software needs to be able to manage it. Merging business documents can be confusing and chaotic, and collaboration software needs to be able to simplify it. Digital Thread Technology, Digital Signature, and Version History are technologies that have combined to find a way to work
way businesses do.
