Capture

Clarity, consistency, always.

With Zavanta's "smart" knowledge capture wizard, anyone can create user-friendly policies, SOPs, work instructions, job descriptions, FAQs, and more. Zavanta's structure and controls ensure that policies and procedures are
consistent, clear, and complete - no matter who the author is. 

 

Zavanta's Content Overlay

Performance support for authors.

Zavanta's interface, called a Content Overlay, prompts authors, helping them "think through" what the policy or procedure actually is. Built-in controls ensure authors provide all the information users need, in the right order. Expert writing advice is built in. 

You can customize Content Overlays, make certain fields mandatory, set access permissions and more.

Communicate

Deliver content the way your audience
wants it.

Zavanta separates content from output format so that content can be 
re-purposed for multiple audiences and uses. With the press of a button, generate multiple
content assets, without re-formatting.  

Zavanta applies a standardized format so that all procedures look the same, all policies
look the same – no matter who the author is.

Read Verify

Attestation puts accountability front and center.

With Zavanta's Read Verify feature, employees can sign off that they have read the content and understand it.

You can set up Read Verify campaigns that automatically send out email notifications on a schedule. For example, create a campaign that runs at the beginning of every year requiring employees to review the latest HR policies. 

Managers can view results from their dashboard and export data for use in other systems.

Testing, Quizzes

With Zavanta's drag and drop test creator, it's easy to create tests and quizzes on any topic. Because tests are mobile-friendly, employees can take tests from their desktop, tablet, or phone.

Automatically email notify employees when it's time to take a test, notify managers when someone fails, and more.

Visualize test results with charts or reports from your dashboard.
