Definition

Document Automation (or Document Assembly) saves time, effort and money in the production of repetitive documents and forms. A document automation system is a computer system that asks questions and automatically creates customized documents based on the answers given.

It's that simple. Document assembly overcomes the problems in ordinary work processing, such as cutting, pasting, and reformatting. The result is a customized document with all the blanks filled in; the pronouns and verbs grammatically in place; the paragraphs properly formatted and numbered (if numbering is required) -- everything complete and correct, in a fraction of the time it would take to use a word processor.

A document assembly system enables you to dramatically increase your productivity while improving the quality of client services. Furthermore, document assembly systems actually enhance document quality because, unlike humans, they do not get tired, forget small details, or overlook changes.

Benefits

Leverage knowledge. An intelligent document assembly system captures the expertise of authors and enables knowledge sharing within the organization, as well as with less experienced users. Sharing knowledge in this way enables subordinate staff to use the expertise of experts within the organization.

The ability to easily automate complex documents. You can automate the most complex agreements and proposals, as well as the simplest of forms.

Intuitive document authoring. The Rapidocs authoring system is easy to use and learn. You don't have to be a "computer programmer" to create an interactive document using Rapidocs.

Features

Greater accuracy through industry standards.
Rapidocs uses the industry standard Acrobat .PDF format to improve accuracy and make form-filling simple.

Managing change. You can save your answers and changes to a document and pick up where you left off at a later point in time. You can also switch between the question and answer interview and word-processing at any time.

Work online without buying the "server farm". Typically, web-based document assembly requires a high-powered server farm. RapidocsX web-browser plug-in technology is the most powerful, user-friendly and efficient means to deliver documents online - yet even small web servers can support large numbers of users. If you are not ready to acquire the RapidocsX Server application, you can use our cost efficient DirectLaw Hosting Service to distribute your authored templates over the Web or your organization's intranet.
