Making Collaboration Easy

One problem any team faces is controlling internal documents. When many team members work on the same information its easy to overwrite or lose track of important information. To address this issue, many organizations turn to third party software. Instead, the website team at Team 3044 would like to introduce WP Document Revisions.

WP Document Revisions is three things:

  1. document management system (DMS), to track, store, and organize files of any format
  2. collaboration tool to empower teams to collaboratively draft, edit, and refine documents
  3. file hosting solution to publish and securely deliver files to a team, to clients, or to the public

We hope that by using  WP Document Revisions, Team 3044 will be able to save our files to one location that will be easily accessible to all of our Team Members. In the near future, we will even harness the power of WP Document Revisions along with youtube to start hosting the content of our weekly lectures so our team members and any other FIRST Robotics team may access the important information covered at any time.
