For multiple apps from the same vendor, the price difference mainly reflects the differences in the feature sets. The price listed here is the monthly fee for 200 users. So, this is how the landscape looks today, including pricing for comparison. For vendors with more than one app, the apps are basically the same product, with some added features in the higher-end versions. Luckily, the six approval apps can be divided into three categories, based on vendor. What is the right document approval app for you? To that end, I would say that an app’s future trajectory is actually more important than its current demonstrated features. Because the approval app you choose today will “stick,” you’ll want to choose one based on current features as well as how it will evolve in the future. At the time of this writing, there are no less than six (!!) options to choose from.īefore diving into the details, there is one critical point to keep in mind: the marketplace for cloud apps is far less mature, and much more dynamic, than the marketplace for server. To process Confluence pages through an official approval, you’ll need to use one of the Atlassian Marketplace Apps. How do you configure Confluence to allow official document approval? The differences between them are just a matter of taste. If you’re a larger organisation, or expect that you’ll need a more elaborate / multi-step approval process, and have someone who can spend time learning an app, then check out either the Comalatech or AppFox solution. What if you’re not migrating document management from the server? If you’re a small or medium sized organisation who wants to get going quickly with approvals, you’ll want to take a look at the solution from Phase Locked Software. By that time, we expect that the migration process to Cloud will be stable, with a more complete set of features. If you’re a happy user of Comala on Server or Data Center, then your best option would be to wait a bit, probably until mid-2022, before moving to Cloud. Here’s the bottom line (in case you want to skip the long version): ![]() We’ll cover other aspects of document management in future posts. This by no means covers everything you’ll need, but it does address a very significant part of the story. In this post, I’ll be focusing on how to get your Confluence pages officially approved in Confluence. In medtech and pharma, this is also called the “controlled documents process.” This typically involves uniquely identifying each official document, approving new versions before they become effective, removing obsolete versions, as well as some other good-governance factors. Confluence Cloud is becoming the dominant Confluence option, which means it’s increasingly important to understand how to set the platform up for document management.ĭocument management is one of the cornerstones of a quality management system. ![]()
