Organizations such as investment and audit firms and government agencies need a better way to collaboratively analyze information and rapidly get feedback about their assessments from colleagues and customers. Using the review functions in word processing and emailing documents may work when the goal is simply editing a document. However, a reviewing and email workflow easily can become disjointed. A new approach is needed so teams can collaboratively analyze information, combine the additional resources they have and obtain feedback from their customers.
