You know the scenario – you are in charge of producing a multi-page document for your company. You present the draft to your CEO for approval and he makes a number of changes (as they do!). Then you present it to the Board and the Chairman wants a few changes. By now it is version three, and the Treasurer wants to update the latest figures, and so it goes on.
It can be a difficult job to then try and explain in writing to the designer via email what the changes are –especially when they all have different ideas. It would be so much easier if you could just get your hands on the document right!?
We at Positive PR have recognised this industry fault, so we went searching for a better solution for both the client and us. Our searching was successful with the launch of a new software program called CS Live.
CS Live is super simple and allows you to view the document yourself in a web browser, and mark the changes you want, post discussions notes, write comments, circle areas with a red pen – you name it. This can be done in a collaborative fashion, with input from other staff members, Board members etc. We can then see the changes you want and complete them. And best of all it is free for our clients.
What is CS Live?
CS Live is part of the Adobe software suite, that creative designers like us use. It harnesses the connectivity of our software with the web to be able to provide changes online. It is completely secure and we send you a special link to view the document.
Why CS Live?
Increased efficiency
Fewer meetings, less email, and less searching means more time to focus on what we do best deliver exceptional work on time and on budget.
Better budget management
Increased efficiency means the client and designer are able to better meet the budget.
Works with your workflow
From project concept to delivery, CS Live connects you with people, content, and data when and how you need to, helping keep our projects in motion.
Better ways to collaborate
CS Live enables us to work more efficiently with colleagues and clients, whether they’re in the next office or 3000km away, so everyone feels in the loop and in control.
