Document Management

Document Management for the digital age.

Large, medium or small—organizations of all sizes share a common need for effective document management. The SignatureConnect Marcomm Web Portal™ provides a central repository for a company to store, manage and provide access to documents by staff, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The importance of this is amplified for those concerned with ever changing regulatory issues and need to make modifications available at a moments notice.Integrating with us through our Marcomm Web Portal can expedite production workflow with print-on-demand which provides substantial savings.

Static, Dynamic and Variable Data Documents.

Static: Documents that require no changes and are ready to print. These are usually trial mail campaigns, one-off brochures and the like. Ordering static documents is quick and easy when you use our FTP widget to upload files into the SignatureConnect system. At that point, you can provide the specifics of the order or speak to a customer representative. After you upload your documents, they are automatically processed through our prepress and QC departments and then sent to print.

The next two document types empower organizations to customize, personalize and target documents in unprecedented fashion.

Dynamic: Documents that can be used over and over again. Dynamic documents are pre-approved templates that can be accessed through our Marcomm Web Portal and dynamically updated by personnel, 24/7. A user defines which parts of a document can be changed and which parts of a document cannot be altered. This ensures compliance with all branding and regulatory rules. Once it is decided which parts of these documents can be ‘touched’ by an end user, it can be defined how those items can be altered. Templates can have very simple or inticate business rules or behaviors assigned to them. Because of the variety of behaviors available, updates can simple alterations to text and graphics. Changes can include document resizing (great for ads), choosing different [data base pre-loaded] text blocks, or free form editing. Once a staff member has customized a document and it has been approved, it goes straight to print and on to shipping— drastically reducing labor time/cost and expediting time-to-market.

Variable Data: Documents that require automated text, picture or size changes. Variable data documents are used for one-to-one, targeted or localized marketing on a grand or limited scale. This is not your fathers’ version of variable data. The business rules or behaviors that SignatureConnect can assign to variable data documents can be simple or very sophisticated— allowing data base driven, personalized communications. Variable data docs are also used for ‘versioning’ of ads for placement in many different publications. We can swap out pictures and text according to your needs on a local level and resize your ads as required to meet publication specs.
