- Integration with Microsoft Office Web Apps gives users online access to business-critical documents

LONDON, 30th June, 2010 - Aia Software (www.aia-itp.com), a leading author and developer of intelligent document composition software today announced that its ITP Document Platform will facilitate anytime and anywhere document creation through integration with Office 2010.  Microsoft Office Web Apps, the online equivalent of the Office applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, gives users online access to documents created in ITP.

Users can view, share and edit documents on a desktop PC, a mobile device or online. This makes interactive correspondence management with ITP wholly independent of the kind of browser that is used, with the integrated approach offering unrivalled ease of use. This new development lays the foundation for the future deployment of ITP in the Cloud through Microsoft BPOS and Azure.

ITP allows business users to develop and manage the content of their own documents themselves, without the intervention of the IT department. As a result, documents can be edited quicker and more efficiently. Integration with Microsoft Office is one of ITP’s strengths. ITP can generate correspondence based on templates and text boxes from Microsoft Word, or generate documents in Word, so that the user can further edit these documents. Recording templates, text boxes and input fields makes it possible to guarantee the quality and consistency of customer communication. It also yields cost savings as employees will no longer have to repeatedly draft the same letters, emails, proposals or contracts manually.

Aia Software CEO, Leon Pillich says “It is becoming increasingly important in the business world to be able to work anytime and anywhere. Companies want to facilitate this kind of flexibility, but it is essential that this is not at the expense of external communication. This is achieved by anchoring legislation and regulations, as well as the house style and communication rules, in different templates in ITP. This saves time and ensures that communication with the customer is always consistent as well as personal.

Availability of applications is essential in ensuring that users refrain from using workarounds. ITP is browser-independent and can be used through a desktop, a mobile device and online thanks to integration with Office 2010. Combining the possibility of working anytime and anywhere with good availability enables companies to guarantee the high quality of their customer correspondence, work more efficiently and realise cost savings.”
