| KAVI Case Study: National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) needed an easier way to follow rigorous ANSI requirements for developing information standards, and a smarter way to help work groups collaborate to create, revise and manage documents. Kavi was the only software suite specifically designed for standards development and therefore extremely appropriate for NISO. What NISO found in Kavi Workspace was an application that integrates document management and email communication, keeps meticulous records kept for document revisions and tracks voting in case of an ANSI audit. All of this is accomplished with a solution that is highly configurable and easy to use. |
