Annual Reports

Create award-winning annual reports with XaitPorter

Norwegian company Hydro won the Farmand Award for the best annual report in Norway three consecutive years, from 2007 to 2009. Xait is proud to say that Hydro used XaitPorter to produce the content of their annual reports, and that XaitPorter was an important factor to their success. The Farmand jury used words such as “phenomenal” and “exceptionally good” to describe the reports, and Hydro was also praised for the “exceptional depth” of the information presented. By using XaitPorter, you too could be producing award-winning annual reports.

Here’s how:

• Add structure to your document creation process
  XaitPorter can provide companies with a structured workflow, where the final product is approved by the CEO and published. XaitPorter allows you to work in parallel processes, reviewing and approving sections as they are finished. Revisions are kept track of, and professional blacklining tracks changes as the document is being revised.
• Keep track of comments
  XaitPorter allows your team members to provide comments directly in the live document and ensure that the correct author gets notified of the comments. Team members can always view the comments made, and this transparency allows for issues to be resolved quickly. No more e-mails, post-its, or voice mails, as all important comments are kept in one place. Project managers can even get a report of all the comments in a project.
• Create audit reports
  XaitPorter gives you a complete audit trail of what your participants do, reducing the chance of leaking sensitive material.
• Reduce the amount of editing required
  XaitPorter makes it easier to adjust your text to meet requirements. It allows you to have a dedicated editor that can ensure that your language is satisfactory, and reduce the amount of editing normally required toward the end of the process. Less typesetting at the financial printer also means lower costs for your company.
