Document automation
Drive efficiencies by automating high-volume, routine documents or a complex suites of documents using HighQ Document Automation powered by Contract Express.
Thomson Reuters Contract Express is now natively integrated with HighQ, bringing the best of Contract Express and HighQ into a single solution. Generated documents and associated data can be used to establish workflows, collaborate, co-author in Word Online, utilise data visualisation, and other capabilities that can be applied to files and iSheets stored in HighQ. Using iSheet data with workflow, unattended bulk document generation is now possible. The output can then be used for data visualisation and to trigger other automated workflows like folder and task creation, or emails to guide the document review and approval process.
Project workflow management
Manage projects more effectively with sub-tasks, workflow audits and workflow automation for lists. The 5.4 release introduced sub-tasks, helping you manage projects with more specificity. View the sub-tasks in lists, Kanban charts, and via a calendar view (now with horizontal scroll). Also, use the workflow audit history to confirm that workflow actions have occurred within a site, giving you more confidence in your workflow automation process.
Litigation management
You can now quickly and easily share the most relevant documents of your case in a single PDF using HighQ document bundling. Generate a single PDF with auto-numbering and bates stamps that will make life easier for you and for anyone who needs to review the materials.
Contract management
Perform deeper analysis with clause training, clustering and improved Kira integration. Now, you can train HighQ’s clause identifier. As you provide examples, the AI engine will learn the clause and recognise similar clauses. In 5.4 we also improved contracts clustering, by grouping similar documents together and setting “fuzziness” levels, you can focus your attention to find the single file that is the best representative of the cluster. Helping you identify the executed version, so you can ignore the noise of un-signed copies of the same agreements.
The integration between HighQ and Kira is even more automated and seamless. When utilising Kira configured sites and folders, your folders will sync while you stay in the HighQ platform – no more back and forth, we’ll handle that.
Content publishing
Accelerate the time it takes to deploy a site or stylise articles. Our new theme templates and article layouts make the creation of client portals, intranets and articles faster. In Publisher you can now deploy sites with a new set of layout themes. Choose from three new layout themes that provide the flexibility of customising colours, fonts, and branding; but can be deployed quickly. If you prefer more customisation, our professional services team will support your requirements. The 5.4 release also includes three new publication templates enabling you to have more options with how your articles are displayed, without requiring any UI enhancements.
Other improvements
These are just some of the enhancements we’ve made to HighQ. Many other improvements are included in this release, all designed to make you even more efficient and productive.
