Callcredit Information Group, one of three major consumer CRAs (Credit Reference Agencies) in the UK, is implementing ActiveDocs Opus for generation of compliant contracts. The solution integrates with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and creates documents using the ActiveDocs Automated Document Production module, eliminating user intervention. Callcredit is now able to reduce the contract turn-around time and ensure that accurate data and approved clauses are always used. The system also enhances protection of customer data, because user intervention is not required during the document creation process.

Nick Chivers, ActiveDocs European Sales Director, said: “A short Proof-of-Concept project demonstrated that the abilities of the ActiveDocs Opus solution exceeded the expectations of Callcredit. The project team appreciated the ease and the extent of integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SharePoint, and other systems in the business. The automation and compliance solution now enables Callcredit to replace the manual document processes and get the most out of the data in its systems.”

Callcredit has decided to automate a range of contractual documents including services agreements, contract schedules, payment plans and others. The system can process data from multiple data sources – Microsoft Dynamics CRM, XML, databases etc. – and use business rules to include the relevant document sections and customize the wording. Callcredit’s templates can be created and modified by business users in Microsoft Word, and the data from the disparate data sources can be utilized by the same business users via the ActiveDocs Opus Data View functionality. Callcredit’s subject matter experts now have the capability to automate production of documents, and to rapidly respond to frequently changing business and regulatory compliance requirements.
