Nearly every organization uses documentation as its principal communication method.
Documents are the major method for integrating all significant business operations.
With the popularity of today's personal computers and the Internet, our need to control documents has changed dramatically. No longer is it necessary to use paper documents as the source to communicate complex technical information. A significant percentage of each professional's workday is spent searching, manipulating, and reviewing documents. With the increasing popularity of creating and maintaining documents on personal computers as part of sophisticated networks, it is imperative major improvements be made in tools that support the creation, review, collaboration, modification, dissemination, editing, and archiving of documents. Otherwise, the software becomes too complex and costly to develop, enhance, and maintain.
