Data Communiqué Improves Mutual Fund Document Creation and Content Management with the Release of DocuBuilder Version 4
Data Communiqué, Inc., the leader in component content managementd and automated multi-format publishing for the investment management industry, announces the release of DocuBuilder Version 4. This new release has been tested and approved by the existing user groups for release into live production over the next month. As with prior versions, this release is provided as a web enabled software as a service and does not require the loading of any unique applets on users' desktops.
DocuBuilder 4 takes advantage of advances in web technologies and dramatically improves the user experience by providing greater screen utilization, and the ability of users to personalize key elements of the system. DocuBuilder 4 also adds additional enhanced features that were most requested by the user groups, including:
• Multi-document batch processing;
• Improved full-screen workspace;
• Additional shopping cart style content handling;
• Enhanced flexibility in creating, assigning, and handling of content;
• Enhanced in-line XBRL tagging for SEC filings;
• Improved search and filtering features; and
• Improved handling of nested component and multi-level variable elements.
"This latest release demonstrates Data Communiqué's continued support of the mutual fund industry through the development and advancement of technologies that allow users to cost-effectively improve: workflow, individual efficiency, and compliance controls, all the while maintaining critical content within a Sarbanes-Oxley compliant structured environment that is designed for flexibility in output," said Brian Essman, President of Data Communiqué. Mr. Essman further said "In these difficult times for mutual funds, complexes must align themselves with suppliers that proactively adapt their offerings to meet the industry's needs today and on a forward-looking basis. Improvements to DocuBuilder released prior to the SEC's final rulings have included integrating summary prospectus content, simultaneous output, and in-line XBRL tagging. This progressive approach is fundamentally different from the costly and unstructured processes of traditional typesetting and added file conversions to meet regulatory requirements that are limiting the ability of many funds to reduce costs."
