Document Automation used to be utilised by a few specific industries with complex legal requirements but now there are many solutions available to businesses that can increase compliance, consistency and efficiency.
Firstly, what is Document Automation?
Document automation (also known as document assembly) is the design of systems and workflows that assist in the creation of electronic documents. These include logic-based systems that use segments of pre-existing text and/or data to assemble a new document. This process is increasingly used within certain industries to assemble legal documents, contracts and letters. Document automation systems can also be used to automate all conditional text, variable text, and data contained within a set of documents.

Essentially Document Automation uses a set and streamlined methodology to create documents based on business processes and requirements thus ensuring compliance with your audit controls and procedures.
Previously separate activities by different departments may have been required to complete a single document, but today this can be simplified and automated:
Here are a few industry based examples of how Document Automation can be used:
Insurance – most of us have several insurance policies including home, contents and car. Each of these policies identifies the asset/s, and liability and the terms of the agreement. Document Automation starts with what your insurance company already knows and each time you renew your insurance the documents are updated accordingly based on the information provided.
Legal – when purchasing a home there many documents you need to agree to from the initial offer, bank loan agreement, and the final sale agreement. Most property purchases have a specific workflow including legal documents to finalise the sale.
Supply Chain Management – think of all the documents required to complete a sales / shipping process; from the original request, to fulfilling, picking, invoicing, etc. Document Automation provides the map for each interaction with each Department and as each document is check off the workflow progresses to the next point.
An additional benefit of Document Automation is as documents are created electronically so they can be shared and filed as directed. It isn't just about having a paperless office, it is about adhering to a business process and saving time. Document Automation allows you to effectively manage and track your digital documents through the entire lifecycle of business processes.
