Why Do You Need CloudWriter?
Because collaboration is essential to everything we do
Collaborating with an interdepartmental or consultant team to draft documents and reports can be like trying to build a puzzle while someone else is holding a few of its pieces.
What may start as a single document can quickly become two or more when it is distributed for feedback to multiple people.
Contributors make revisions, comment on sections, accept changes and then the originator must reconcile multiple versions.
We’re all familiar with this unenviable task.
Even when working in a shared document, someone may open and revise it on an incompatible platform or save edits to an older version. Plus, the formatting is clumsy. Why is it such a mess?
Fortunately, there is a solution!
Meet CloudWriter, the robust collaborative drafting, commenting and editing tool tailor-made for local governments. Work efficiently and effectively across departments and among consulting teams to create plans, ordinances and other documents or reports.
