NextPage is disrupting the document collaboration market by eliminating product abandonment experienced from traditional document management and collaboration products. NextPage delivers products that focus on solving problems from a user’s perspective. NextPage 2 Document Collaboration is the first to connect all document-based collaboration by tracking document versions that are sent as e-mail attachments, stored on users’ desktops and created outside the organization. The service provides a 360 degree view of all document activities and works whether users are online or offline. NextPage 2 Document Collaboration reduces the risk of sending out the wrong version, prevents wasted time working on wrong versions and eliminates the cost of document coordination.
