Sending ‘a communication’ or 'a document' is more than just sending an email or a letter or a text message. It covers the entire flow a message is facing until it has completed its mission. The entire flow, meaning: the source, the creation, the branding, the fixed content and the content variables, the bounces, the reaction to these bounces, the customer’s feedback, the gained information, etc. Learn how Scriptura Engage will help you improve your multichannel communications strategy, while simplifying your environment and saving costs.

1. Management Summary
The new Scriptura Engage platform is based on what we’ve identified as the four communication phases.
Each communication goes through these four phases: design, compose, deliver, analyze. Later in this
document we will go more into detail about how Scriptura Engage can guide you during this journey. Go to
The Four Phases of Communication now.
Until Scriptura Engage 8.0 our platform was one unit. By listening to our prospects, customers and partners,
we understood that not all businesses need the full package — some organizations have less complex
communication structures, other just need an interactive document for their customer service team, some
may choose a mobile-only interaction with their customers … That is why we’ve created separate point
solutions. Go to Point Solutions now.
Another aspect characterizing our new Scriptura Engage version is what we’ve named Communication Center.
This is a web-based interface functioning as a centralized hub, from which all individuals, teams and divisions
that are entitled within your organization to read and/or edit the communication — and this to a well-defined
profile package (phase, content, look & feel …) — can take part in the customer experience you as an
organization want to achieve. Go to Communication Center now.
Cloud-enabled features make sure you as an organization are ready for the (near) future. Interactive
Document Assembly is a good example and we have more cloud-based novelties. We understand very well
that ongoing investment is necessary so we are continuously working on cloud improvements. Check out what
we’ve done so far: Go to Cloud-enabled features now.
When talking about customer relationships, the most trending word of 2014 was definitely ‘Engage’. In
Google almost 30.000.000 results display when entering ‘Customer Engagement’ in the search box. This
doesn’t come as a surprise to us. In 2010 already we renamed Scriptura into Scriptura Engage as we predicted
the growing need for organizations to not only attract new customers, make a connection with them, but also
engage with them. One of the most critical factors in this appears to be the way an organization interacts
with its customers. This is a big challenge today as the number of communication channels has increased due
to the digital wave and at the same time customers have become very selective and demanding in how they
want to receive the communication addressed to them, and this goes for invoices, notifications, newsletters,
promotions and other information.
Needless to say that the product sold or service provided is the customers’ biggest concern. In other words,
trust is key. And it doesn’t start nor stop with the product or service purchase. It is before, during and
especially after the purchase that an organization needs the appropriate means to make its customers happy.
You can build that trust by using personalized multichannel communication as an informing, connecting,
rectifying tool. In the eyes of customers an organization’s authenticity equals how it communicates with
them.
Scriptura Engage enables organizations to get the maximum value out of any kind of customer
communication; whether it is based on printed output, an online application, email, social media or any
other tool or channel. It helps organizations to interact with their customers through high-quality,
personalized communications across multiple channels. This doesn’t only result in increased customer

loyalty, but also generates cost reduction and time-to-market acceleration. This combined improvement
generally brings a project return on investment of 6 to 15 months.
Scriptura Engage is used in a myriad of environments, supported by strong benefits:
Accessible
With the introduction of the Communication Center we offer you a well-structured interface where you can
manage your communications, easily find what you need, track your changes, edit the fields dedicated to you
individually or to your team or division simultaneously to the work your colleagues from another team are
doing. So you don’t have to wait until another business user has saved his or her adjustments/interventions.
Personal
Use the valuable information you have on a customer to personalize every moment of contact. Scriptura
Engage can create value from multiple sources, whether it’s a database, CRM, accounting, SAP or other
system.
Relevant
Provide relevant information to your customers, based on preference, content and context. Your customers
will reward you for your customized approach.
Intuitive
Scriptura Engage was designed to allow business users to manage and create templates and personalized
communications without programming. This drastically reduces development time for your IT-department,
allowing them to focus on innovation.
Consistent
Maintain full control of your regulatory compliance and corporate identity throughout your entire
organization.
Interactive
One-way communication can be powerful, but interactive electronic forms give you instant feedback that can
be used to enhance customer experience or trigger follow-up messages, and empower users with self-service
interfaces.
Variable
For some document types, like contracts and policies, you may need to travel in time, backward or forward,
to get/obtain the correct content output. With the new feature Variants it is just a click away: select the
applicable variant holding the correct timing, logo and other variables, and recover a past document or check
out how it will look like in the future.
Future-proof

Scriptura Engage is completely built on open standards and is platform independent, allowing for scalable
integration with your current and future environments.
Automated
Our advanced business flow interface allows you to automate nearly any task based on your business processes.
This will result in a more effective communication, giving your customers the information they need, when
they need it, through their preferred channel.
2. The Four Phases of Communication
2.1 Introduction
Sending ‘a communication’ is more than just sending an email or a letter or a text message. It covers the
entire flow a message is facing until it has completed its mission. The entire flow, meaning: the source, the
creation, the branding, the fixed content and the content variables, the bounces, the reaction to these
bounces, the customer’s feedback, the gained information, etc.
With Scriptura Engage 8.0 we’ve identified the four phases each communication goes through. We’ve based
our new platform on this approach and structured the new interface analogically/in analogy — our
Communication Center as the ultimate visualization (see figure 2).
2.2 Design
Users can design communication projects and templates, manage them as well as related resources.
2.3 Compose

6. Reach. Connect. Engage.

or call 0032 3 425 40 00
Data is retrieved and used to assemble the actual correspondence. Users can see the status of each
communication job, the number of communications that has been sent, and more. Communication Center
also allows for the management of the jobs and communications: release, pause, and restart. Jobs can be
bundled. Communications can be previewed, approved, rejected.
2.4 Deliver
Communication Center supports various delivery channels and formats. Channels are configurable and new
channels can easily be added.
2.5 Analyze
All information that is tracked during the process of generating and delivering communications can be
consulted via secure web dashboards, which includes overviews of jobs, communications, and deliveries with
reporting possibilities and statistics about the different channels. Configurable reports ensure you get
maximum insight to improve future communications, thereby closing the loop.
3. Communication Center
Historically, we’ve aimed at giving maximum flexibility by allowing organizations to do with Scriptura exactly
what they needed to do. Initially, every Scriptura implementation involved programming, and involved full
customizations. Overtime, especially with the introduction of Document Flow, we’ve eliminated most of the
programming, and each organization could represent their exact flows. Very flexible again.
However, when we analyzed how organizations do their communications, and how they implemented
Scriptura, we found that most of them operate in very similar manners. Yet, each organization still needed to
configure everything from scratch. We decided to implement these common approaches as standard
production functionalities in Communication Center. This ensures that the implementation time can be
reduced (or as we often see, a lot more can be achieved with a similar budget). And this is still in full
evolution, since we continuously work on new evolutions for Communication Center based on input from
customers.
The objective of Communication Center is to act as a central communications hub for customer
correspondence. It is a management platform for executing complex multichannel communication strategies
in a standardized manner and can be configured, extended, or customized to meet strategic communication
objectives of the organizations.
The different Scriptura Engage components (from template design and resource management to output
production and delivery) can be managed from Communication Center: a 360° view of all communications is
available. Its user interface can be branded to the corporate communications guidelines of customers
allowing white label versions.

4. Point Solutions
4.1 Document Design & Generation
The Scriptura Engage Designer is a visual design environment that allows business users to design templates.
It contains all the features needed to create fully personalized customer correspondence: images, tables,
charts, lists, bar codes, reusable objects, object properties, date and time, currencies and more. Support for
multiple languages, business rules, logic, data fields and variables drastically reduce the number of
templates that need to be created.
Personalizing your customer communications makes sure your customer receives relevant information timely
and better customer experience means improved engagement.
Users can design templates once and produce communications in different output formats for a variety of
different output channels. Changes to each template can be made by business users themselves, freeing up
expensive IT resources.
Scriptura Engage users can design templates in hours instead of several weeks.
The Scriptura Engage Designer can also be used to design electronic forms, templates for mobile devices and
to configure output processes.

4.2 Interactive Document Assembly
In most organizations, customer-facing individual contributors like sales people, customer service
representatives and helpdesk agents need to be able to quickly respond to customer inquiries.
Communications need to reflect the context and outcomes of the customer interaction. In these situations,
standard documents might not be flexible enough.
The Interactive Document Assembly solution helps business users to personalize standard one-on-one
customer interactions, including quotes, proposals and onboarding kits.
An intuitive web-based document editing environment allows business users to make approved changes to
standard communications without programming. Your coworkers have the flexibility to tailor communications
by adding specific content, adding data, hiding certain paragraphs and more. Additional customer data can
be captured through the use of input fields to make the customer experience even more relevant. And in this
process your organization stays in control. You can configure which elements of a communication can be
modified and if such changes need to go through an approval process or not. This can be managed separately
for different types of correspondence.
The intelligent document editing environment guides business users through the process as it compiles and
creates relevant documentation. The interface of the editing environment is very intuitive and fully
configurable to your corporate brand. The interface can also be adapted to the language of the business user.
This allows international organizations to provide the same functionalities to their teams in different
countries.
As a result, the learning curve is reduced, and business users can quickly handle tasks that would typically
need to be passed on to higher management levels, such as policy or plan changes.
Organizations that use this solution have reported significant call time reduction by up to 26%. By adding
targeted, personalized messages to documents at run-time, the solution helps you create documents that are
easier for your customers to act upon and understand. With graphics, color, and dynamically populated
charts, customers spend less time on the phone making basic inquiries.
And by providing communications in the native language of your customer they will respond more quickly to
your messages. Completed documents can be delivered to multiple channels or can trigger a new
communication process.
4.3 Electronic Forms
A lot of organizations provide forms on their website that can be downloaded, filled in and sent back on
paper. But customers like things to go easier, better and faster. They do not want to be bothered with filling
out paper forms to provide information that in most cases is already known to your company or that is not
relevant to their specific situation.
We decided to create an offering that is focused on electronic forms. It enables companies to design and
deploy intelligent electronic forms without programming.

9. Reach. Connect. Engage.

or call 0032 3 425 40 00
Most electronic forms are programmed and maintained by the IT department. By providing a visual design
environment, you can easily create and deploy electronic forms where no programming is needed. You can
design forms using rich features including graphics, charts, business rules, multiple languages and much
more. You can create and deploy these intelligent electronic forms 80% faster.
The look and feel of the electronic form can change depending on the data that is inserted by the user. Our
customers reported that form creation time decreased from a couple of weeks to just hours.
Leverage electronic forms as an integral part of your communications strategy. A form can be integrated with
your website or mobile app and once submitted, a form can trigger different actions, like sending a
confirmation by text message or displaying a document in a browser and sending it to the customer.
Research states that a paper-based form costs about $7 to print, capture and process. Electronic forms are
more secure and accurate and far less expensive than paper. An investment in electronic forms technology
will pay for itself in as little as 8 months.
4.4 Multichannel
Customers want their communications delivered to their channel of preference, including online, print,
email, mobile, sms (text), archive or social media. Companies that can use a multichannel approach have
reported a boost in response rates. With our experience in enterprise software for customer communication
management we decided to create an offering that automatically delivers correspondence to multiple
channels and tracks channel feedback.
Scriptura Engage Multichannel is ‘digital-first’, meaning it is focused on digital channels in the first place. It
allows you to define different delivery scenarios based on business rules and customer preferences. It
monitors feedback from all channels, like email delivery status and bounce handling, to verify whether a
specific communication was delivered or not. This information is then used by the platform to decide the
next-best action.
By making use of digital channels, you can reduce 78% of costs in your delivery processes: you’re spending
less on paper, printing, storage and postage costs. So, you can increase revenue while making your customers
happy by delivering your communications to their preferred channels.
Scriptura Engage MultiChannel allows you to define the different delivery processes and fall back scenarios.
You can easily add new delivery channels or make adjustment to existing output processes. You can also
track every single communication and the system can use this feedback to automatically decide on the next-
best action in case of failed delivery.
With Scriptura Engage Multichannel, organizations can fine-tune the delivery of every individual
communication for every customer. By taking into account the preferences of each customer for each type of
communication, you will deliver a better customer experience. And this will result in increased response
rates and higher customer loyalty.
No matter if you deliver correspondence to print, online, email or any other channel, you want the customer
to perceive the same brand. You can standardize communications across all channels to provide a consistent

look and feel. This will not only result in a better customer experience, but will increase your brand value
too.
4.5 Mobile
In most organizations, mobile communication is simply considered as sending a document to a tablet or
smartphone. But in reality, it entails much more. Your customers want to interact with the statements, bills
and other communications from your company.
We decided to create a solution that enables organizations to leverage the possibilities of mobile devices,
like embedding video, gps, drilling down to a specific transaction or capturing information electronic forms.
This guarantees a rich user experience.
Mobile communications are created in a WYSIWYG design environment, without programming. This drastically
reduces development time. These communications can be a standalone app or can be integrated into another
app. Communications are available online or offline.
With graphics, color, business rules and dynamically populated charts, you will boost response rates. By
adding targeted, personalized messages at run-time you ensure your mobile correspondence is relevant and
up-to-date.
Information needs to be captured and delivered to your organization all the time: coming from sales
representatives, maintenance workers or your customers. By integrating electronic forms in your mobile app,
users can easily provide your company with relevant data in an automated way. Data can be verified before it
is inserted in your systems. Our customers reported an 80% increased efficiency by eliminating paper forms.
Additionally, Scriptura Mobile doesn’t require your users to install a separate app on their iPhone, iPad or
Android device because it can be seamlessly integrated into existing apps. That way, Scriptura Mobile offers
your users a single view on all communications, and to the Mobile App developers, it takes away the burden
of dealing with everything related to customer communications, including dynamic communications and
electronic forms.
Finally, also Push Notifications can be used to address customers in a personal way, complementing SMS or
Text messages.
4.6 Doccle Connect (Belgium only)
Doccle is a digital distribution platform that can be used to deliver communications to your customers. It can
also be used as an online archive for your customer base. With our experience in enterprise software for
customer communication management we decided to create an offering for Doccle senders to simplify
delivering documents to Doccle.

Different communications require different channels. Our solutions can help you manage communications
across multiple channels, next to Doccle.
5. Today’s most relevant CCM aspects
5.1 Versioning and Variants
Document content may vary or update according to the timeframe we are in. It is important, especially for
content-sensitive information such as contracts and other legal documents, that you can print your document
today how the situation was in the past, as well as how it will look like a few years from now. This is
possible, even by using only one template resource. Moreover, you can use this functionality to prepare for
future events without any user intervention.
With Variants, multiple variants of a single resources can be in production at the same time, and Scriptura
Engage will automatically determine which variant to use. This drastically reduces errors and maintenance,
and improves legal compliance.

5.2 Cloud-enabled features
The Scriptura Engage 8.0 release has embraced the cloud. When going through the documentation, you will
encounter many cloud-friendly changes, be it for private, public or hybrid cloud, while keeping the entire on
premise functionality intact.
The Scriptura Engage Designer has been integrated into a web-first, user-friendly self-service experience by
using seamless synchronization with the content repository and providing a web-based, auto-updating install
option keeping all its power at your fingertips when you need it.
Despite the fact that various users can enter the platform, your organization will not lose control at any
moment, even in the cloud. We’ve added major security functionality based on an open standards system
that allows organizations to use fine-grained access control permissions. As of now you can add and edit
extensive permissions for different users, groups and departments, both internal and external. The security
system can be linked to corporate Microsoft Windows® Active Directory™ servers. It’s now possible to use the
Windows® single sign-on.
Installation and administration have been simplified and made more user-friendly. As the platform and
functionality grows, complexity arises. We’ve made it a lot easier now to install and configure our solution.
User-friendly wizards will gently walk you through the installation steps. Optionally, it is possible to use a
web-based installer for Scriptura Engage 8.0. You can simply install & play. Updates will be provided
automatically.
The new centralized configuration system enables your organization to maintain larger sets of servers while
each set can be managed independently. This cloud-enabled novelty allows dynamic system scaling. By
integrating monitoring tools, the system administrator can use web-based diagnostics for improved crash
handling and for dashboard purposes. In other words, there is no longer need for external applications.
Production servers that encounter memory corruption will switch off automatically so that no data will be
damaged or lost. It is up to your organization to decide whether you want this functionality enabled and what
exactly needs to happen in such cases.
When someone says ‘wow, cloud’, another thinks ‘security’. It is up to you if you want to be the first or the
latter. You can decide to have all your documents and data (resources) in an included repository on the
Scriptura Engage server that can be synced seamlessly like many cloud solutions. However, this functionality
is also available for on premise deployments.
This content repository has support for tracking changes and versions of your assets over time and allows you
to easily stage and manage these from inside a web browser.
5.3 Interactive, On-demand, Batch
Scriptura Engage was built on batch communications and matured thanks to the investments we made in on-
demand. It may seem logical having this second type of communication in the portfolio, and to us it does, but
you’ll see that not all vendors in the customer communications management market are able to provide this.
To even better service and engage your customers, you supplementary need to go into interaction with them,
and this appears to be quite a challenge to many organizations still. With Interactive Document Assembly,
Electronic Forms and the Mobile solution, we elegantly answer to this matter as well.

5.4 Multilingual
Language is a sensitive matter and it will always be one of the differentiating factors from the customer
perspective.
When it comes to loyalty and satisfaction on the one hand and good service and engagement on the other,
customers have become much more demanding than they used to. They expect the world to be their
neighbor, someone who can be trusted, is helpful, who can listen, who can give advice. In other words,
someone who is nearby, yet, who is not waving above the hedge or knocking at the door all the time.
Needless to say that we live in a globalized world. Yet, quite some international organizations or
organizations located in multilingual regions haven’t implemented an affordable, efficient and future-proof
way to reach and connect with their multilingual customers. If you can’t communicate with your neighbor or
don’t show any sign of effort, how can you expect this neighbor to really engage with you?
With Scriptura Engage it doesn’t matter how many customers you have, how diverse your customer language
landscape looks like, how variable your communications typically are, you can approach your customers in
their own language while even reducing operational working hours, and this without the need for IT
intervention. In other words, investing in individualized communication is gaining authentication and
contemporary flair, without losing control and accuracy, without increasing resources (on the contrary, you
are reducing working time and cutting IT costs) and without harassing your neighbor.
5.5 Open innovation
As said in the introduction, customer engagement is important to us. Not only with respect to your customers
but also to our own customers. Communication Center, for example, was developed thanks to ongoing mutual
interaction between our customers and our development team.
Open innovation is a form of partnership where all parties involved benefit from each other’s knowledge,
experience and efforts. This collaboration answers our customers’ needs in the best possible way, it enriches
the entire world with relevant innovation and, eventually, better serves the end customer.
This is how we want to go forward as we are confident that, living in an interactive and fast-changing world,
we all can gain from it.
