In practical terms, for a financial services user for example, a loan request typically results in the composition of a loan contract document. During the process from initial request to the production of the final contract, various people from a variety of associated departments (e.g. finance, legal, etc.) need to contribute content and information as well as review and approve the document as it progresses from start to finish. Using ITP for SharePoint, the entire process from collaborative document creation through to approval and distribution whether online or in print is centrally managed and controlled for audit and data protection purposes.

Users familiar with SharePoint will find that using this new solution from Aia Software offers additional benefits that enhance their productivity with SharePoint, a video showing the benefits can be found at: http://www.aia-itp.com/en/products/itp-for-sharepoint.html

Today users can be assured that the entire process from document creation to authorisation, can be controlled by the SharePoint ITP combination. With the ITP for SharePoint integration, document centric services can be added in SharePoint workflows. This means that post-processing actions like printing, PDF conversion and sending e-mail become automated, server-based activities. In addition, all documents can be stored in a SharePoint Document Library, thus document creation and document management are managed centrally.
