One of those includes an integration for the real estate industry.</p>
<p><strong>Excellent Support. Unmatched Value.</strong><br />
By James Pasquarella</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve just completed an implementation using LOOP Storage Services to save documents right on opportunities, contacts and the custom objects that we created specialized to our business.</p>
<p>Now everything is available in one place. Our team uses <a href="http://www.salesforce.com" target="_blank">Salesforce</a> everyday and now we have the documents we need right at our fingertips. When viewing an opportunity or custom object, etc, I can just click the file to download the relevant file and view it. No separate file server with old folder systems to navigate while on a call. I only see the documents related to what I&#8217;m working on.</p>
<p>We can even share certain documents with our customers via our Customer Portal in Salesforce. And since Salesforce works the same no matter if we&#8217;re at the office, at home, or on the road, we can get to our related files without having to log on to the office network. That just makes life a little easier.</p>
<p>The best feature of all is LOOP Storage&#8217;s high value proposition relative to other solutions we looked at in the AppExchange. The highly responsive support staff and efficient combined pricing of both this service and <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/" target="_blank">Amazon&#8217;s S3</a> storage space makes for the best value solution for storing documents related to Salesforce records.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all the discussion about cloud computing and the recent Microsoft announcement of a cloud computing platform called Azure, we thought we would take a moment to discuss the cloud and how our customers have been automating document creation in our cloud for years.  All of the talk and discussion is simply validation for what we have seen for years . . . moving document creation to our cloud drives efficiencies, lowers costs and delivers scale to any business, large or small.</p>
<p>The past couple of weeks have been flooded with new announcements and discussions of cloud computing coming from Salesforce.com, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and posts like Tim O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/10/web-20-and-cloud-computing.html" target="_blank">Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing</a>.</p>
<p><strong>So What Exactly is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing" target="_blank">Cloud</a>?</strong></p>
<p>The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet and its underlying infrastructure.  Many companies, like us, have been delivering services on-demand, now often referred to as cloud-based applications, for years.  So what&#8217;s new?  It can get even more confusing as many people use the term cloud in different ways.  For example, some define the cloud simply at the infrastructure level (like Amazon S3).  Others define the cloud as web applications running in the cloud (like Salesforce.com).  Regardless of the definition, buzz word or latest acronym, the value of the cloud to a business is significant and real.</p>
<p><strong>Drawloop&#8217;s Cloud</strong>:  Automate Your Document Creation</p>
<p>We offer <a href="http://www.drawloop.com/solutions/">cloud-based end-user applications</a> to quickly automate all of your document creation.  With a web browser and the same Microsoft Office documents your company has used for years, you can instantly run all of your documents in our cloud.  Our document automation service allows you to move document creation from a desktop function to a web application or what we call a <a href="http://www.drawloop.com/ddps/">Dynamic Document Package</a> (DDP).  A DDP can be deployed anywhere on the web and integrated with any web service, like Salesforce.com.  Our document service provides your administrators with the added benefit of working with the documents in their normal desktop environment.  In other words, your legal team will still be able to update and edit your contract terms and conditions in the same Microsoft Word application they have used for years.  Our approach is a unique balance between the past and the future which is critical to effectively manage all of the documents required to help sell and service your business.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.drawloop.com/solutions/"><img src="http://dzwcomtqyhdt6.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/cloud_blog.gif" alt="" title="DDP Cloud" width="439" height="220" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-689" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What is the Business Value?</strong></p>
<p>Automating document creation in our cloud will drive significant business value . . . increased productivity, increased revenue, faster sales cycle, and a significant reduction in the expenses associated with traditional document creation (man hours, software, versions, updates, networks, training and the list goes on and on).  Our customers realize an immediate return on investment while reducing costs associated with document creation.</p>

Our latest version of LOOPlus introduces new features that will help companies of any size increase efficiency around document creation enabling them to deliver mass customization and control around document creation throughout their entire organization.</p>
<p>New features include:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Document Queue</strong>:  Allows a Dynamic Document Package (DDP) to be sent to a Queue for fulfillment allowing the salesforce user to create multiple document packages, from any Objects, with the click of a button.  From the Queue, the user can deliver the document through email, download the document or send through another work flow, like e-signatures.</li>
<li><strong>File Options for the DDP</strong>:  You can now map any field from Salesforce.com into Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel and PDF.  In addition, we have opened up the service to allow a creator of the DDP to include (as required or optional files) any JPG, GIF, Bitmap, PNG, Plain Text, Rich Text, XML, Visio, Publisher and/or HTM/HTML files to the packaged document.</li>
<li><strong>Work Flows</strong>:  DDPs can now be triggered by a work flow in Salesforce.com.  This allows a company to have Dynamic Document Packages created based on work flows on the front and/or back-end of the document creation.  This integration is extremely powerful for organizations that require mass customization for a high volume of document packages.  We have a single organization generating over 4,000 DDPs a week with LOOPlus.</li>
<li><strong>Images</strong>:  A DDP can now have images dynamically passed into the files used to create the final packaged document.  This can be extremely valuable for documents that require private labeling or letters that required an image of a sales rep signature.</li>
<li><strong>Outbound Messaging</strong>:  Using Salesforce&#8217;s outbound messaging, a DDP can be deployed behind the scenes, i.e. without any user intervention. The DDP is created based on the information in the outbound message and the final PDF is sent back to Salesforce for any further work flows to be completed.</li>
</ol>
<p>Please <a href="http://www.drawloop.com/aboutus/" target="_blank">contact us</a> today if you are interested in learning more abour our LOOPlus service for Salesforce.com.  You can also install LOOPlus from <a href="http://sites.force.com/appexchange/apex/listingDetail?listingId=a0N300000016Zn3EAE" target="_blank">AppExchange</a> and use our 30-day free trial.</p>

</strong>01/23/08 by Drew Hyde, Partner</p>
<p><a href="http://www.auroralifetools.com/" target="_blank">Aurora Lifetools</a> provides Social Security Disability Representation nationwide. LOOPlus is the killer application we have been looking for. It reduced our time in contract preparation by almost 90%. The staff at Drawloop is unbelievable, support, sales, billing &#8211; just phenomenal. This one app alone saves us enough to pay our salesforce subscription. The integration with EchoSign is flawless and simple and leaves you wondering how you ever did anything the old way. We will be implementing a solution that auto-creates a complete docket and related exhibits and records, and annotated correspondence this spring. We have looked, and looked and cannot find another product that will do this either in salesforce or standalone for under $20,000. What more is there to say, great product, great service. Work with Drawloop, they make money, you make money, the cool factor is unbelievable &#8211; everyone is happy.</p>
