I don’t need more technology. I need technology people will use (which works with what I have). How can Viga help me augment my current document centered processes?
Years of applying technology to improve your business has left you with numerous systems in various stages of implementation and more paper than you care to admit. Your systems must reach out to more and more people using increasingly diverse business processes while holding down your costs and reducing the number of platforms requiring support.
Do you know why there are so many documents? Either people would not (or you did not want to allow them) to use the electronic interfaces to your corporate systems. But now the task of generating, distributing, extracting data from and storing these documents has become too expensive, too slow and too prone to errors. You need to streamline document management, increase productivity, and reduce the need for paper documents and archives.
Why not try the most effective container for data that needs to be exchanged among applications and users? The ubiquitous PDF Reader is on over 700 million desktops worldwide. PDF serves as a universal format for print and electronic delivery. PDF also holds the promise to bridge the last mile of connectivity to casual or disconnected users of enterprise software. A system based upon Adobe Intelligent Documents allows you to manage the complete document lifecycle without sacrificing document integrity or open standards. By combining XML with PDF, Adobe Intelligent Documents transform documents from a staid output format into dynamic interfaces for applications and processes. Adobe Intelligent Documents allow you to put a user-friendly face on enterprise data.
Intelligent Documents provide all the user accessibility and readability of a traditional document, but also offer the power of being able to interact with a process without custom programming. Any end-user can interact with multiple applications via Intelligent Documents, housing a repository of processes that links documents to other enterprise software. Additionally, the quality of information in core business systems improves when the systems receive data directly from customers via Intelligent Documents. This empowers you with the ability to change the role of information, and how it interacts with both software applications and people. Adobe Intelligent Documents allow you to share information securely and provide better interaction between systems. Adobe Intelligent Documents unite applications and act as a de facto single interface to them.
Users can access systems offline, dynamically interact with core applications and allow you to maximize investments in existing technology and systems. You are able to combine information with the processes that surround it, allowing you to control security at the document level. Given that so many business-critical processes and operations are driven by documents and forms, it makes sense for you to consider the use of document services in your applications – especially in the wake of accounting scandals and new regulations and compliance mandates. You have the opportunity to automate not just the flow of documents, but actions that are dependent upon those documents, allowing you to unlock the power and extending the reach of your data. Get out of the drudgery of application maintenance and participate in and affect business processes and workflows between front-end tools, back-end systems, and humans by exploiting the power the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform.
