Epoq, our strategic technology partner, is the market leader in web-enabled document automation software, which enables on-line assembly of complex documents and forms such as wills, trusts, court pleadings, contracts, agreements, and other legal documents.  We have also developed supporting technologies that manage legal content, provide through our DirectLaw™ Web Service, a platform for legal web sites.

Developed by Epoq based in the UK, Rapidocs has been specifically developed to solve problems experienced in many industry sectors in delivering complex documents and forms on-line.

Rapidocs® provides an intuitive and easy to use interface for the authoring or origination of complex interactive documents and PDF forms quickly and efficiently. Rapidocs® has the ability to be 'intelligent', anticipating the routine elements of document drafting and enabling the user to compile even the most intricate documents and forms. Rapidocs® files contain the logic for assembly and users' answers to questions in a single compressed, transportable "intelligent" file. The Rapidocs® files can then be published for delivery to customers or used internally through the Internet, through corporate intranets/extranets, and in the near future, on wireless devices.

Rapidocs® Family of Products

Rapidocs® supports a family of products that are designed to automate the document production process.

Rapidocs® Professional: is a fully scalable enterprise application designed for small workgroups and large multi-site organizations alike.

Rapidocs® DataServer: Rapidocs ® offers a comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) to allow developers to integrate Rapidocs® with other applications. This consists of a number of COM interfaces known collectively as DataServer.

DataServer is most often used to pre-populate answers in a Rapidocs® file from information stored in databases, or to extract answers from a Rapidocs® file and record them in a database. However, Rapidocs® provides API's to manage the meta-data within a Rapidocs file®, or to communicate with a document store. Using the APIs, Rapidocs® documents can be managed within a workflow process, for example to control permissions at each stage.

Rapidocs® Classic Assembler: Rapidocs® Classic is a compact document assembly application designed for distribution on CD or download through the Internet. With Classic, end users can work offline, avoiding costly connection charges and allowing them to work in places where no Internet connection is available.

RapidocsX: A highly convenient and small client, RapidocsX uses ActiveX technology to embed all of the assembly capabilities into Internet Explorer or Netscape web browsers. This removes the need for the end user to download and install software, yet retains all of the power of Rapidocs' assembly capabilities. This web site utilizes our RapidocsX technology.

RapidocsJ: Our latest client is also our smallest and most convenient, RapidocsJ converts Rapidocs logic and questionnaires into a tiny Java application for multi platform data capture.
