Back to Products Co-Edit Software type: Browser-based collaborative document editing Market opportunity: Document production is currently a tedious, time intensive task and rarely occurs in a vacuum. An initial document draft is the platform for round upon round of circulation, and multiple editors provide input before the document is eventually finalized. Those familiar with this process are equally familiar with its many pitfalls: late turnaround times, poor version control, and lack of manager oversight. Product description: Co-Edit is a browser-based collaborative editor that approaches the pitfalls of document production with a unique solution. It enables users in any location to simultaneous collaborate in the online creation, editing, and final production of a single document. Users work in sections of the same document file, and input text into the main document saved in a persistent data store. With Co-Edit, users produce documents with the collective intelligence of their working group, select individual parcels of a document for editing and input into the main document, view proposed changes and discuss them in a chat window, have the resource of the complete history of edits input into a document, access their total time spent editing a document, and select the best viewing format to suit their editing preference. These processes are all specifically designed to serve one central goal: to quickly produce a final work product that all parties have reviewed, edited, commented on and agreed is finalized. © Copyright 2005, Axa Solutions, Inc.
