We have a quality control manual and it cannot comply PDF Print E-mail

Unless your quality control / assurance manual is written specifically to inhibit document assembly projects, this may be true. Otherwise, very very doubtful.

Document assembly is possibly the most powerful tool to assist your company with quality control compliance procedures, especially in terms of formatting, signing clauses, template maintenance, headers, footers and any other aspect of your document base.

Document assembly works on the concept of producing the exact same document for a given set of circumstances, every time. If a clause, paragraph or pleading is required, it is the same regardless of who is drafting the document, or what their current emotional state is. If a letter enclosing a Form 1 is required, it is the same across the board - quality control! If a user can only produce a certain letter by using the document assembly system, all you have to do is ensure that letter template complies with your quality assurance manual.

From there, its a simple case of applying the usual network permissions and such on your precedent folders to ensure users cant edit them. In this regard, HotDocs and GhostFill add an additional layer of security, in that the users don't ever open a copy of the template using the document assembly platform - they cant. They only ever assemble a copy thereof. Combine this approach with a style sheet in Word or defined styles in WordPerfect, and you have as close to "perfect" quality control as possible.

Your content is the same every time. Your formatting is the same every time. And if your systems are set up correctly, you only have 1 or 2 different letterheads and fax headers for your entire company. So anytime these change, you make one or two changes in a single place, and every template is updated.  Document assembly is the staunchest supporter of quality control.
