Author overview

What is Author?

Processes are a fact of business life, yet many people find difficulty in recognising a process, let alone in defining one. Author provides a better way to manage business processes.

The Author platform draws RACI flowcharts for you. It integrates data (tasks, roles, risks, competencies, standards) and the published (HTML) system ('free to view').

In one change all roles and documents can be updated with a 'Find and replace' feature and Sharepoint/document management systems are also integrated.
