Digital Thread takes
idea of document tracking even further by inserting meta tags of
most commonly used electronic business applications, such as
Microsoft Office applications and e-mail. This data allows
document to be tracked through all of its changes, regardless of where it’s stored in e-mail or your hard drive, even when it is sent to a non-user. It literally threads all of
drafts together.
Other additional document management technologies by NextPage include Digital Signature and Version History. The Digital Signature shows information about
document versions along each step of
way by displaying a brief history of
document each time it is e-mailed. A little signature at
bottom of
e-mail which informs
user where
document is in
editorial process, who has
original, when it was last altered, and how is was last changed. This saves a lot of time, keeping track of
order of your document versions.
All of
puzzle pieces are placed together with Version History, displaying a virtual family tree of
document in a flowchart. Everything comes together with these new tools, saving time, energy, money, and sanity.
Luckily,
search for software to sort, track, and merge document drafts is now available. It will take some searching to sift through so many applications. Try searching some of
newer technologies mentioned above to narrow down
search.
