Document Collaboration Tools Transform Team Dynamics

At infoRouter, we understand that document collaboration tools are essential in transforming team dynamics by providing a more efficient, organized way to manage, share, and edit documents. Unlike the outdated practice of emailing documents back and forth, our platform offers centralized collaboration, eliminating the confusion and delays that email chains often create.

  • Enhanced Efficiency: infoRouter’s document collaboration tools allow teams to work on a single, updated version of a document without the need for multiple attachments in emails. With features like version control and task-based workflows, your team avoids the chaos of lost files and redundant edits.
  • Improved Accountability: By tracking document check-ins, approvals, and assigned tasks, infoRouter keeps each team member accountable for their specific contributions. This is much clearer than trying to piece together who made which edits via an email trail.
  • Streamlined Communication: infoRouter offers a collection of document collaboration tools, including features like subscription notifications, to keep all team members informed and up to date on changes to mission-critical documents. This ensures that everyone stays aware of the latest revisions and updates, supporting efficient collaboration and decision-making.
  • Increased Flexibility: Whether your team works in-office or remotely, infoRouter offers a central platform where everything happens under control.


Collaboration

Gallup analytics finds 84% of U.S. employees are "matrixed" to some extent -- that is, they might work on multiple teams every day, reporting to the same or different managers.


This complex structure requires effective collaboration, which relies on clear roles, consistent feedback, and a shared mission. infoRouter supports this by providing tools that enhance team collaboration, allowing members to work together seamlessly, even across departments. These tools ensure that your team can coordinate effectively and adopt more efficient workflows, promoting a smarter and more organized way of working in real time.

What are these Document Collaboration Tools?

infoRouter provides all the essential features to create the most "Effective document collaboration environment."


Advanced Search: Advanced search capabilities play a critical role in enabling instant access to information, which is essential before effective collaboration can begin. Being able to use advanced filtering tools to search for and find information eliminates time wasted on manual searches. Teams can focus on meaningful collaboration and decision-making without delays, driving productivity from the outset.

Subscriptions: When you subscribe to a document or folder, infoRouter tracks any changes and sends email alerts. For documents, you’ll receive notifications of updates. For folders, you'll be alerted when new documents are added, or existing ones are modified.

Send To / Distribute: You can share an infoRouter document using the "Send To" or "Distribute" functions. The "Send To" function allows you to send a document as an email attachment or share a link. Sending the document as an attachment is typically used for external recipients while sharing a link is meant for current infoRouter users. The "Distribute" function sends email notifications to document all subscribers.

Tasks and Workflows: Tasks can be assigned to other users through the "Create Task" menu, involving various actions. Tasks may require the assignee to edit a document, read the latest or published version, provide task-related comments, or add specific ISO or SOX compliance comments. Other tasks may include disposing of, archiving, downgrading the classification level, or declassifying documents as required.

Email Notifications: Email notifications are sent to document and folder subscribers when changes occur. They are also issued to reviewers and authors using the document review feature.

Version Control: infoRouter automatically creates a new version of a document each time it is checked out, edited, and checked back in. Users can access the version history to track changes and see previous edits.

Visual Cues: The main document interface displays a list of documents within a folder and provides visual cues about their status. Similar to emails, documents that have changed since you last viewed them appear in bold. This makes it easy to spot updates even if you missed an email notification or didn’t subscribe to the document. Additionally, new documents in folders are also displayed in bold, indicating that they have not yet been viewed.

Comments: Users can add comments to documents, which are displayed in the main document view, showing the author and date. This allows for valuable feedback through comments, facilitating collaboration by letting team members share insights and suggestions directly on the document. Users with permission to modify documents can also add version-specific comments when creating new versions. These are often used to explain changes made in that particular version, providing a clear context for future collaboration and ensuring that all updates are properly documented.



Version Control:

infoRouter's version control feature is essential for efficient document collaboration, ensuring that team members always work on the latest version of any document. With real-time version tracking, users can see changes as they happen. They can see all document versions and comprehensive version histories, reducing the risk of errors or conflicting edits. This feature allows for the easy comparison of previous versions, automatic notifications for updates, and a complete audit trail of all changes. Version control boosts productivity by improving the collaboration process, ensuring that everyone is aligned, whether they’re working remotely or within the same office.
