OverDRIVE for Digital Asset Management (DAM)

OverDRIVE is a cost effective, intuitive, visual and smart way to provide users and teams with simple and powerful intranet web access to corporate data and information.

Many businesses report that access to their corporate digital assets is difficult, documents hard to find.  At last there is a solution, not just for Google users but Microsoft users too.

Like our other technology pillars, OverDRIVE works with any platform and any device.

OverDRIVE provides the ability to easily create project workspaces to manage the documents, digital assets, contacts etc., relating to any number of projects at any time.

Top Tip: Smartsheet can merge data into Google docs e.g. quotes, invoices,HR contracts etc.,  all visible via OverDRIVE. Proof reviews in ProofHQ can be accessed from OverDRIVE

ProofHQ for Proof Review and Approval

ProofHQ is an online proofing solution for Marketing & Admin teams of any size in any industry who need to deliver marketing projects faster and more efficiently.

Deciding to use ProofHQ isn’t difficult. It measurably speeds up project delivery and significantly reduces management time, revisions, errors and costs. Because, unlike email and hardcopy proofing, ProofHQ enables review teams to collaborate simultaneously on creative content.

ProofHQ simply streamlines approval workflow – and can be used across all media including print, digital and audio-visual.

Top Tip: Smartsheet can drive the workflow and track progress of multiple Proof reviews with live links to ongoing or concluded proofs, then on to the creatives or printers for output.

DocuSign – The Global Standard for electronic signature and Digital Transaction Management

DocuSign helps businesses of all sizes easily and securely sign, send, and manage documents in the cloud, with unmatched availability and legal enforceability, eliminating the hassle, costs and lack of security in printing, faxing, scanning & postage.

Eliminate Paper Clutter:  It’s time consuming and costly to print, mail, fax, and overnight documents and these processes are prone to error. With DocuSign, you can sign and send with the click of a button and gain instant visibility into the status of your documents. You reduce the clutter for you AND your recipients, whilst also lowering the environmental impact of doing business.

The Smartsheet DocuSign integration offers our clients further workflow efficiency benefits, e.g. send one person listed in a Smartsheet an envelope for signing which includes tenancy contracts or contracts of employment at the click of a mouse.

Choosing one or a range of our complementary work management solutions will provide you with vastly improved efficiencies, collaboration and visibility.

Integrating Smartsheet with your other Applications has been dramatically improved and now API 2.0  offers a whole range of opportunities to link applications together to remove even more steps from your traditional processes by automating your workflows and updating data in several places with just one entry.

Carried out every day in organizations of all sizes and in all industries across the globe, it’s also a process that is time-consuming and often causes considerable frustration, especially for those in the marketing and creative industries.

The costs and inefficiencies of the review and approval process can be hard to isolate. When looked at on an individual level, the inefficiencies can seem localized, almost insignificant. But when the sum total of these activities are rolled up, examined and clearly labeled for what they are, it’s astonishing to see exactly how much time and effort is really spent on the review and approval process.

The good news is that review and approval is a process that can be greatly improved with online proofing, yielding tremendous benefits to both the individual worker and the organization.

Our new eBook, The Definitive Guide to Online Proofing, is a comprehensive resource for understanding and improving the content review and approval process. After reading this guide marketing and creative professionals will understand:

• The content review and approval workflow and how it impacts a business
• The market drivers and trends that influence the need for a more efficient content approval process
• The benefits of optimizing the content review and approval process with online proofing
• The spectrum of available proofing options and questions to ask when evaluating online proofing software
• Why Guitar Center chose online proofing in a real-life case study

At the end of the day, we all want to complete our projects quickly and efficiently. The last thing we need is a roadblock from a botched review and approval process that effectively derails the whole project. The Definitive Guide to Online Proofing will show that any corporation, brand marketing team or digital marketing agency, regardless of industry or size, can benefit from optimizing the review and approval process.
