Enable Team Collaboration
Transform individual document access into team collaboration with approvals, e-signatures, and system integrations.
From Individual Access to Team Workflows
Manual Workflows Made Easy
With digitized and searchable documents, you're ready to enable team collaboration. Level 3 adds the tools teams need to work together: secure sharing, approval workflows, e-signatures, and system integrations.
Think of this level as "manual workflows made easy"—documents flow through your organization with clear visibility and control, but key decisions still require human judgment. This prepares you for Level 4 where these processes become fully automated.
Why Collaborate Before Automating?
- Test and refine workflows before automation
- Build user adoption and change management
- Identify bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
- Immediate ROI while preparing for BPA
