DealBuilder.Author

Native use of MS Word means simpler automation & development

Online interview for a user's documents

A document assembly software tool that enables users to create automated versions of their documents and present them as online questionnaires.

In many cases, the authoring of automated documents has been somewhat time consuming and labor intensive, often requiring specialist programming expertise to create templates or programmed versions of the underlying document to yield the greatest results.  As with any document assembly or online template management software, this is quite often the case however, the DealBuilder suite can greatly expedite this complex process.

DealBuilder.author has transformed the laborious automation task of traditional document assembly tools by eliminating the need for document templates and the complex logic programming associated with them.

Instead DealBuilder.author is able to analyze and interpret the document in its original Microsoft Word format. Where a document is imprecise or ambiguous DealBuilder.author uses an artificial intelligence engine to prompt the user for clarification. With the elimination of template programming, document automation can be undertaken by anyone who understands the underlying documents, with little to no specialist help.

As a result of this unique approach Business-Integrity's clients have been able 'to push the envelope'. Complex documents and transactions that were not automatable using previous technologies can now be automated in a relatively short time.
