The only business plan software system designed for team collaboration
BizPlanBuilder has been upgraded to enable file-sharing over a network, server or the Internet...
BizPlanBuilder is the only business plan software system developed for collaboration
JIAN's Multi-user Interactive Document Assembly System (MIDAS) lets you share secure access to your files over a network, server or the Internet.
Email, cut & paste... Yikes!
Please don't be fooled by the old-school software that claims that ot's collaborative, but makes you email files... then figure out which edits to cut and where to paste them back into your master document — that is NOT collaboration. It's a lot of work with high potential for mistakes. Also, any one of you can inadvertently overwrite the others' work. (Or they can overwrite yours!)
How multi-user collaboration really works
JIAN's MIDAS system enables user A to check out one Word or Excel section of your business plan — other users are notified that the file is unavailable for editing (however, they may read it) until user A puts it back (checks it in). User B can then check out the file and make his/her edits. This prevents multiple users from making changes at the same time and over-writing each other's work.
The user interface is slick and improved.
The biggest improvements that I can see are the new content and the sharing mode.

Even if you work by yourself...
Even if you are doing this project by yourself, you can enjoy anytime access to your files between your office, home PC and laptop!
NEW! Collaborate Over the Internet
If you have an online file-folder, you can share files securely over the web. The application runs on your PC and the data file can be easily dragged and dropped to an internet-based folder. When you work together with your team, each of you will open documents stored online, edit them locally, then save them back to the online folder. Automatically.
When you want it, you can sign up with our online storage partner for anytime/anywhere access to your documents. Visit Support for more details.
Beyond JIAN's template products...
Business teams can use the JIAN MIDAS system itself for developing their own custom projects like technical manuals, sales books, or procedures guides. Just add external documents and blank sections to create your own. Sort them into the order you want, assemble and print. It's that easy.
