Astoria Reviewer

The Astoria Reviewer product streamlines the review and approval cycles of dynamic publishing content amongst geographically dispersed, cross-functional teams. Organizations flourish with automated control and management of the review cycle, while providing universal access based on a user's role and access privileges.

Accessible via a web browser, Astoria Reviewer provides a secure, collaborative environment for authors, reviewers, and subject matter experts to access the whole range of content from documents to even the finest content component; they can provide comments and annotations that travel with content objects, and make changes in real time. Tracking content reviews and edits is enabled by a robust workflow engine with configurable, multi-step transaction routing across the most complex and distributed teams. This ensures that content is secure and up to date throughout the whole review process.

A differentiator of the Astoria Reviewer is that annotations can be attached to content objects and travel with, not inside, updated content. This feature, unique to Astoria, enables faster and better review and approval since proposed content updates also capture the "thinking-about" and "reasons-why" content is updated.
