Aptus Solutions collaborates with AIIM to produce Document Approvals Management for SharePoint White Paper
London – 14th February 2012– Aptus Solutions, a leading document management product and service specialist announced the release of its new White Paper “Document Approvals Management for SharePoint” in collaboration with AIIM, authored by Doug Miles, Director Market Intelligence, AIIM.
Managing document approvals within the engineering, construction or process plant industry projects is a demanding and mission critical process. This white paper explores the general benefits of approvals systems and drawbacks of native SharePoint approvals.
AIIM’s recommendation is to use ready assembled third party products that address the core document review and approvals functionality including:
- Auto numbering of documents
- Document register
- Handling of relationships between documents
- Managing of versions and renditions within document work-packs
- Associating tasks to document work-packs
- Document distribution matrices
- Transmittal note, organisation and distribution
- Multi person commenting with design documents and drawings
- Auditable distribution, review and approval for regulatory compliance
- Linking equipment tags to design specifications and technical drawings.
The combination of SharePoint and a third party integration based on sound domain expertise will provide conformance with enterprise IT standards whilst supporting and enforcing the approvals process in an efficient, compliant and auditable way.
