Case Study: NWDC Navy Doctrine Library achieves 50% faster document reviews with Ideagen's PleaseReview

NWDC dramatically cuts time spent reviewing documents with PleaseReview

The US Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC), which manages the Navy Doctrine Library System (NDLS), faced a slow, labor-intensive document review process: reviewers waded through lengthy emails, a cumbersome comments-resolution matrix and a clunky import workflow that required manual consolidation of changes and caused delays and duplicated effort.

NWDC adopted PleaseReview on its portal, providing a secure, browser-based environment for simultaneous editing, visible comment threads, automatic merging of accepted changes, tiered reviews and offline access. Uploads now take under five minutes, review timelines fell to about 1–3 weeks and operating costs were cut in half, delivering faster, more transparent and higher-quality reviews.
