Nordic River, a provider of visual version management software offerings, and Box.net, a cloud content management provider, have entered into a partnership to integrate Nordic River’s TextFlow input management service into Box.net’s content management and collaboration offering.
The TextFlow OpenBox application enables Box.net users to compare and merge multiple document versions, and allows the handling of all text input from other users. Using the WeaveSync technology, an indexing, matching and synchronisation tool for documents, TextFlow offers a way to manage input, as well as merge and track suggestions and text contributions from multiple writers at once, Nordic River said.
The company said that the integration of TextFlow into Box will enable teams to gather all feedback among multiple versions of their shared documents, and decide how to incorporate each member’s input into the final document.
Karen Appleton, vice president of business development at Box.net, said: “With the integration of Nordic River’s TextFlow service, we have further extended our document collaboration capabilities, enabling users to increase productivity and streamline feedback collection, a process that typically involves endless emails, phone calls and instant messages.
“Not only can Box.net customers access, manage, and share all of their content online, but now, through this partnership, they can more easily merge multiple versions of a document and improve workflow.”
