Document Automation
What is Document Automation?
- Document Automation is the term that describes the process of converting Word, WordPerfect, or PDF documents into automated templates. This process is ideal for repetitive types of documents (contracts, letters, HR forms, legal documents, sales agreements, etc…).
- Once your documents are automated, you can proceed to the document assembly phase. This is where you and others in your organization use templates to quickly create error-free, custom, transaction-ready documents.
