Introducing the BackDRAFT Quality Management System for Writing

BackDRAFT is the industry's only business writing system that results in a sustainable, uniform writing style across an organization.

The BackDRAFT Quality Management System (QMS) is an enterprise-class business writing process that organizations use to produce precise, engaging and coherent writing. The system is based on a set of principles that help writers spot, name and fix the 40 most common fumbles in writing. The heart of the system is a 20-hour, personalized online curriculum that teaches company staff how to produce documents with flawless grammar, diction, syntax, logic and rhetoric.

BackDRAFT QMS features the following unique components:

Customized Courseware—Advanced learning software in which all course content reflects the issues, products, terminology and brand context of the client organization.

1-on-1 Guided Curriculum—A self-paced training curriculum that monitors the writer's performance and adjusts the focus and difficulty of the curriculum.

Mentor On-Call—A hybrid software/human customer-experience management tool that responds immediately to changes in a writer's performance and progress during the online training program.

Visual Editing—A Flash-based learning environment in which words, phrases, sentences and whole paragraphs move around on the screen as they do in a seasoned writer's mind, providing a visual correction process that the writer can easily understand and replicate in work situations.

BackDRAFT DEX (Document Editing Xpress)—A peer-review process that cuts editing time by as much as half, and enables the achievement of a consistent group or organizational writing standard.

Online Class-progress Views—Role-based, password-protected Web access to individual, class, departmental and enterprise performance stats.

Genre Independence—A flexible QMS that can be quickly applied to any type of writing, including email, visual presentations, reports and proposals.
