Belgian company Inventive Designers, announced it has geared its proprietary Scriptura document solution to Google Docs. This enables newly created documents to be instantaneously presented to any others involved who are meant to review or amend the document or to act upon it. Documents created in Scriptura v6, such as contracts, purchase orders, confirmations and reports can now be automatically generated from data from the back-end systems (such as a CRM or ERP system or other data sources) and be used as a Google Document without manual intervention. This enables stakeholders who are required to view, amend, edit or jointly work on documents, to be informed, by e-mail for instance. http://www.inventivedesigners.com/
