Software enhances editorial accuracy across teams
Dubai UAE: Content management software can free up to sixty four hours every working month according to Steve Davis, President of Author-it Software Corporation, the 'new age' content management company.
He said that an average of eight days a month are wasted on re-editing and correction by everyone engaged in content creation and management, stressing that Author-it software eliminates this wastage and allow this time to be used elsewhere.
Author-it is a content management system that enables multiple writers to work together to update, change or create documents from several locations with zero risk of error or misuse.
"Content management software slashes error probability, provides greatly enhanced content security and it also works well as a resource management tool," said Davis.
"Presently, with most organisations in a cost conscious mode, the ability to virtually negate content error and make more than one week a month available for enhanced productivity to boot, is a no-brainer."
Davis noted that traditional methods of documentation management demand a high resource quotient and often leave content wide open for mis-management. He said that this can result in loss of information, credibility and business. In extreme cases, companies have been forced to cover huge compliance-related litigation costs.
Citing a recent survey, Davis said that the error ratio was above 30 per cent for basic business documents.
"Poor spelling and grammar in marketing and sales documentation is both unforgiveable and is bound to put off clients. However, the truth of the matter is that more than one in three business documents contain errors. In this cycle of dwindling business and increased regulation, this is highly dangerous."
Davis said that Author-it enables accurate collaborative writing, editing, content management and publishing across teams and locations, using features such as access and permission control, information sharing and re-use and multi-output publishing all with compete edit history and audit controls.
"Increasingly, organisations are placing more value on the compliance and the credibility of information. Indeed, the commitment towards compliance has further highlighted the need for a foolproof content management system. Author-it stamps out content duplication and inconsistency of all kinds.
"We have had great feedback from the retail and banking sectors particularly," he concluded.
Davis is set to speak on the intelligent use of content in compliance at the upcoming GCC Cards Summit (Bahrain, November 2-3 2010), and to the Bahrain and UAE business community at special workshop sessions on November 4 and 8 respectively.
