Document Management and Workflow Automation for PE Portfolios

Deploy reusable FormKiQ Business Solutions across portfolio companies, with each company retaining its own AWS account, data ownership, and operational controls.

See the portfolio deployment model · Discuss your solution requirements

Operating partners and company leaders can address recurring document problems with a common set of FormKiQ Business Solutions. Start with contracts, supplier records, or another operational need, then reuse the application and review patterns across companies while configuring each deployment for its local requirements.

The portfolio deployment model

Reuse the solution. Keep each company in control.

Start with a FormKiQ Business Solution at one company, then adapt the proven application and review process for the next.

Reusable across the portfolio

A common FormKiQ Business Solution

  • Application screens
  • Document models
  • Review processes

For example: contract management with optional AI extraction and human review.

Deploy and configure for each company

Company A

Its own AWS account

  • Its documents, dossiers, and entities
  • Its users, policies, and integrations
  • Its region and encryption-key controls

Company B

Its own AWS account

  • Its documents, dossiers, and entities
  • Its users, policies, and integrations
  • Its region and encryption-key controls
The branches show reuse of the solution. Each company owns and controls its records in its own deployment.
What is reused, and what stays company-specific?

Reuse the application pattern

FormKiQ-delivered screens, document types, metadata fields, entity and dossier relationships, and document-review patterns provide a starting point for the next company. Optional AI extraction definitions can follow the same reviewed approach.

Configure local responsibilities

Each company confirms its owners, access roles, retention rules, AWS regions, keys, and API integrations. When using Bedrock, its model and inference profile must match the approved processing geography.

Portfolio reporting can use explicitly approved outputs through an agreed export or API integration. Reusing a solution does not grant access to another company’s documents.

Explore an example inside one company: contract renewal actions

See how one company uses the Contract Management Business Solution to connect agreements, check AI suggestions, and assign the next renewal action. The same application pattern can be adapted for another company; PORT-1042 remains this company’s contract file.

Example in FormKiQ · fictional data

One company’s contract, from review to renewal action

Company contract PORT-1042

1. Open the company’s contract file

Procurement links the supplier agreement and latest amendment. The application shows the contract owner and documents in the portfolio company’s own AWS deployment.

Supplier + signed documents
Contract file ready for review
How FormKiQ handles this step
  • Supplier entity SUP-042: provides the company’s reusable supplier record, linked to the signed agreement and subsequent amendments.
  • Contract dossier PORT-1042: connects the contract owner, business information, and source documents; each document keeps its own versions and permissions.
  • Business Solution application: presents the file to the company’s authorised procurement users within its own AWS deployment.

2. Propose renewal and notice information

FormKiQ proposes renewal and notice information using Amazon Bedrock. The owner sees the suggested values with their source documents before accepting them.

Agreement + amendment
Renewal terms awaiting review
How FormKiQ handles this step
  • AI Processing and Analysis: uses Amazon Bedrock through the company’s AWS account with the model and inference settings approved for that deployment.
  • Business Solution application: shows the suggested renewal date and notice period with source references, making the latest amendment available for comparison.
  • Contract dossier PORT-1042: connects the extraction output and source documents; proposed values remain separate from the accepted business information.

Model and inference-region settings follow the company’s approved deployment configuration. The proposed values remain unapproved until reviewed.

3. Confirm the notice deadline against the amendment

The owner finds that the amendment requires 60 days’ notice instead of 30. They correct the proposed information and confirm the deadline before approving it.

Proposed terms + latest amendment
Reviewed renewal + notice deadline
How FormKiQ handles this step
  • Contract information review document: records the source references, the correction from 30 to 60 days’ notice, and the deadline confirmed by the owner.
  • FormKiQ workflow: routes the review document to the authorised contract owner and records the decision and comments on the submitted information.
  • Business Solution application: saves the accepted renewal date and notice deadline; PORT-1042 retains the original proposal, corrected information, and approval evidence.

4. Assign and record the renewal action

Procurement assigns an owner and target date before the notice deadline. The owner records the decision and adds the resulting supplier correspondence to the contract file.

Reviewed terms + notice deadline
Assigned action + recorded decision
How FormKiQ handles this step
  • Business Solution application: shows upcoming renewal work using reviewed dates, with a named action owner, target date, progress, and next action.
  • Decision and correspondence documents: retain the authorised renewal decision and reasons, together with supplier notices, replies, or revised terms added by staff.
  • Contract dossier PORT-1042: connects the action history and correspondence to the accepted dates, approval evidence, agreement, and amendments within the company’s deployment.

Authorised staff decide whether to renew, renegotiate, or end the agreement. Sending notices uses the company’s agreed communication process.

Start with a business process your companies share

These are packaged applications for daily work, supported by FormKiQ documents, dossiers, entities, workflows, and APIs. The portfolio approach reuses that foundation while accommodating different company systems and responsibilities.

Other starting points include financial applications and agreements, records management, and policies and procedures.

Build on the first deployment

  1. 1. Prove one use case

    Choose an operational owner, configure the Business Solution, and validate it with real document types and agreed acceptance criteria at the first company.

  2. 2. Capture what can be reused

    Agree the application behaviour, record model, review process, and optional AI extraction definitions that should become the next company’s starting point.

  3. 3. Adapt and operate locally

    Configure the next company’s roles, retention requirements, regions, and integrations. Confirm the process with local owners and measure outcomes against its agreed baseline.

Add AI where it helps the operational work

Use Amazon Bedrock through the company’s AWS account to propose contract terms, classify documents, or prepare summaries. The Business Solution presents the source records and routes proposed information for human review before using accepted values in the process.

Keep processing choices local

The selected model and inference profile must match the company’s approved processing geography. Each deployment defines its access, logging, and retention requirements.

Keep decisions traceable

Connect the source document, AI proposal, correction, and review decision to the business file. In the contract example, the owner checks an amendment before acting on a notice deadline.

Explore AI Processing and Analysis

Keep company ownership clear as the portfolio changes

Company-owned deployments keep infrastructure, records, and operational responsibilities identifiable through acquisition, growth, and exit. Access changes, integrations, licences, and any transition work are planned for the transaction.

When the operating team needs portfolio reporting, agree which reviewed outputs may be shared, who may receive them, and how an export or API integration will deliver them. Company access permissions continue to govern the underlying records.

This approach fits portfolios seeking repeatable document operations with local ownership, including regulated businesses with residency requirements. For fund accounting, investment valuations, or performance reporting, use the relevant portfolio or finance system; FormKiQ supplies the document and workflow layer.

Choose the first company and the first process

Bring one recurring document problem, its business owner, and the requirements that differ across companies. We will identify a suitable Business Solution, its configuration and integration scope, and what can carry into later deployments.

  • Current process, document types, and measures of success
  • Company AWS ownership, residency, security, and operating responsibilities
  • Application configuration, edition/module needs, and API integrations
  • Optional AI processing, review requirements, and approved reporting outputs
