Scriptura enables online document consultation and document sharing
Integration of Scriptura with Google Docs
Antwerp, February 3, 2009 - Belgian company Inventive Designers, which specialises in the development of software enabling businesses to communicate with their customers in a duly personalised manner, has geared its proprietary Scriptura document solution to Google Docs. This enables newly created documents to be instantaneously presented to any other persons involved who are meant to review or amend the document or to act upon it.
What are Google Docs?
Google Docs are free, web-based office applications run by Google. Google Docs operate with a web-based word processor that has a good many similarities with Microsoft Word. One significant distinction being the fact that the Google Docs are stored on Google’s servers, not on local hard drives. Another major difference is that users can work on a document together at the same time. Google Docs can be simultaneously shared, opened and amended by different users (colleagues, customers or third parties). What is more, they are available to be viewed by mobile handheld devices such as mobile phones or PDAs.
Mobile documents
Documents created in Scriptura v6, such as contracts, purchase orders, confirmations and reports can now be automatically generated from data from the back-end systems (such as a CRM or ERP system or other data sources) and be used as a Google Document without manual intervention.
This enables stakeholders who are required to view, amend, edit or jointly work on documents, to be informed, by e-mail for instance. Which opens boundless opportunities for the integration of the existing document process with Web 2.0 functionalities.
Scriptura v6
Scriptura v6 has been available since 30 September 2008. The document solution comprises a revolutionary component that allows the entire business process of document creation to be graphically displayed in an intuitive, user-friendly manner. Which serves to provide users with a clear overview of the document process, from data collection and personalisation right up to document creation and delivery.
