Leading Commercial Insurance and Risk Management Firm Adopts SmartSearch

Is managing paper becoming a project of its own?

Documents are as crucial for construction projects as steel. Whether a building or a bridge, no project ever goes forward without contracts and engineering drawings-or insurance policies. While Construction Risk Partners excels at helping clients insure against risk, doing so was flooding its offices with cumbersome paper documents. Designed for value and easy to use, learn and support, SmartSearch is helping the firm to operate more efficiently and profitably, while at the same time guarding against document losses and delivering improved client service.

Solution Profile:
Business: Commercial insurance and risk management
Company: Construction Risk Partners
Objective: Eliminate paper-based filing system, streamline business operations and prevent document losses

“SmartSearch really impresses our clients! When a client calls and we need to find a document, I can often retrieve it in just a few seconds and then e-mail it to them while we're still talking. It's very satisfying to hear them exclaim 'How did you get that so fast?”
- Mary Bishop, Senior Client Manager, Construction Risk Partners

The SmartSearch Revision Control Module

SmartSearch 3.1 introduces a powerful new tool for business collaboration with the release of its Revision Control module. Now, working with "living" documents where users need to collaborate while maintaining versions and document controls is both easy and intuitive.

Version control means more than just tracking changes to a record; it also means enforcing business rules for accessing content. Determining who can see previous versions, whether they can roll back edits and deciding what content is available for public consumption are just a few of the benefits of a collaborative environment. As a result, the SmartSearch Revision Control module allows the organization to define these rules within its standard security model.

While the ability to collaborate with live content such as Word or Excel is critical to any revision control initiative, the ability to also edit images is what separates SmartSearch from many popular ECM solutions including Microsoft SharePoint. By leveraging the strength of SmartSearch's powerful imaging tools, users can revise a record "inline" without the need for image editing products like Adobe Acrobat; all while tracking the changes to each version. Simple editing commands like inserting a signature page or re-ordering pages are now joined by more advanced tools for merging PDF records or even appending hundreds of files at a time.
