On Thursday, cloud-based document and email management provider NetDocuments announced the launch of a new product called PatternBuilder—a tool intended to generate documents within the NetDocuments system and eliminate the need for separate vendors and security audits involved in imports and exports.

PatternBuilder, which is natively built on the same platform as NetDocuments, indicates a strategy the company is laying out to acquire products and then eliminate the need for integration by building them into the same system.
