Can Your Organization Benefi t from Automating
and Managing Paper and Other Document Processes?
As the volume of documents within your
organization explodes, managing these
documents can be a real and pressing
challenge. If your organization is like many
others, paper documents, emails, faxes,
PDFs, CAD and other office documents are
left unmanaged and stored in filing cabinets,
on file servers or on desktop PCs around the
office. This exposes your organization to
compliance risks, service delays, cost
overruns and a host of other challenges.
However, you don’t have to grapple with
old-fashioned paper-storage systems or
deal with electronic files scattered all over the
place to manage your documents. Today,
software solutions are available that combine
document and records management capabilities
into a single, complete offering. These
solutions enable you to reduce the time,
cost and complexity of storing and
accessing your documents throughout the
information lifecycle. They also give you the
power to improve access to critical documents,
enhance customer service and operational
efficiency—all while reducing risks and
addressing compliance demands.
No matter what your industry or size, gaining control of all documents is critical to every organization. Ever-expanding
government regulations require effective and auditable control systems for all documents and communications—both
paper and electronic. Competitive pressures require that organizations become more efficient and responsive in order to
survive and thrive.
