Business value

One of the top pain points reported by customers is the absence of a business user experience to customize printable business documents. By using Microsoft Office-based templates, we provide customers with predefined documents in the most familiar tools available in the market to customize business documents. This also opens the door to create a marketplace around standard and regulatory business documents that are tailored for specific industries or regions not covered by Finance and Operations apps.
