Tower eases office burdens
Tower Software has bought EasyDocs to make it easier for users to automate the production of letters, faxes, memos, envelopes and other customised documents that are stored in TRIM Context, Tower Software's enterprise content management solution.
EasyDocs asks the user a series of questions so that it can prepare a document in an appropriate style as a draft copy.
This draft is then opened up in the user's word processing system for editing and refining. The application also pre-profiles and captures all documents into the appropriate TRIM Container without the user's intervention.
One of the purposes of this application is to improve productivity by reducing typing and formatting time. To create a letter, the user can click on the client they want to send it to, then choose if they want copies to go to anybody else, type in the subject and then click OK. The document is then created and all the person has to concentrate on after that is the body of the letter.
Geoff Moore, general manager of Tower Software, Asia Pacific said. "In addition to making it straightforward to administrative staff to maintain their standard letters; the introduction of this feature to the TRIM Context Enterprise Content Management Solution will negate the cost of creating and maintaining Word Macros for standard letters.
"This technology is primarily used today for the creation of council business papers for meetings, by drawing information and documentation from TRIM Context and assembling it into a new word document. This saves administrative staff and councillors time and effort in their day to day tasks."
This software should be suitable for legal and financial sectors. Combined with Trim Context's Action Tracking or Workflow Modules, its purpose is to deliver office automation to an organisation.
