Windows XP White Papers

Software Company Saves a Million Script Pages as the Tablet PC Debuts in Hollywood

Overview Final Draft, a scriptwriting software company based in Southern California, holds an annual screenwriting competition called Big Break. Every year, staff, professional script readers, and a panel of celebrity judges evaluate more than 3,000 scripts. Handling that much paper and successfully tracking each script through several rounds of eliminations was a logistical nightmare. Final Draft worked with Microsoft to implement a cost-effective Tablet PC-based solution to automate script management. Readers and judges use an online Web site portal solution and Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 with ink-enabled forms to download, read, and score their scripts on a Tablet PC. Instead of printing more than 500,000 pages of screenplays, evaluation forms, and score sheets, Final Draft printed none and saved approximately U.S.$120,000 in printing costs.
