The Power of u: Limehouse Software Debuts Version 3.0
LONDON, October 1 /PRNewswire/ -- - New Software Suite Integrates Collaboration, Publishing and Stakeholder Engagement Limehouse Software today announces its arrival on the world stage with the launch of the latest version of its unique document-centric collaboration and social software suite. This full-service solution facilitates iterative decision making, allowing a more integrated approach to strategy and policy development where consultation is required with stakeholders, citizens, partners, shareholders or employees. It enables organisations to capitalise on a vastly streamlined consultation, production and publication process for both internal strategy documents and external communications such as annual reports or microsites. Limehouse Software's cutting edge software solution represents the first time that collaboration, publishing and stakeholder engagement functions have been brought together in a single system and is comprised of two separate and fully integrated products: ucreate and uengage. ucreate is a web-based integrated collaboration and publishing solution with robust document creation facilities, customisable shared workspaces and one-click publishing to multiple channels, including print-ready PDF, XML and AAA rated HTML. Providing an invaluable resource for document creation where input is needed from multiple authors, internally and externally across geographies and time zones, ucreate allows multiple users to edit documents simultaneously with full version control. It is capable of publishing hundreds of pages of content to full design specification in less than three seconds, to print or web. This completely eliminates the need for the expensive and time-consuming process of multiple versions and revisions associated with a traditional design agency approach. Its web 2.0-style online meeting and messaging applications provide real-time messaging and chat functionality for easy communication throughout the collaboration process. ucreate provides a simple, cost-effective and powerful solution for producing complex, branded and professional documents and content-rich microsites with minimum time and effort. uengage, Limehouse's industry-first enterprise consultation system, provides an end-to-end system for managing stakeholder relations. It enables organisations to manage the entire consultation lifecycle in a single system, consult with all relevant stakeholders through the widest variety of response mechanisms, and analyse and manage the results through complete back-office functionality. uengage provides a secure platform for organisations to engage with shareholders in strategic decision making, EGMS and passing special resolutions, with all responses fully managed for complete transparency and compliance with information regulations. The system integrates with CRM systems and has built-in stakeholder management facilities enabling organisations to easily segment their audience when required. Additionally, uengage has powerful back-end reporting functionality to analyse responses. Both ucreate and uengage are available as stand-alone products or as a complete software solution with a unified dashboard. Version 3.0 is an entirely web-based solution, provided as a hosted service in the increasingly popular Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Access to the system is through an internet browser from anywhere, facilitating collaboration from contributors in different departments and organisations as well as enabling flexible working. All data and software is hosted by Limehouse, eliminating the additional IT costs for installation, hardware and maintenance, which are intrinsic to many existing software systems. This unique system is being used by a wide range of public and private sector organisations to reduce the costs of collaboration, creation, consultation, and publication of documents and content by up to 40%.
