Take Advantage Of Document Workflow Efficiencies

It's likely that your company, like many others, has invested in capture technologies, such as scanners, to convert your paper documents to electronic formats. But if your employees are still handling – printing, copying, filing, routing – scads of paper documents, are you getting the most out of those investments? Are your employees spending time scanning documents in the mailroom or saving email attachments, only to print them out to route to another user? If so, you're not only consuming paper and ink, you're using valuable manpower that could be accomplishing more vital tasks. And that's not to mention the additional risk of input errors and lost documents that occurs every time a paper document is handled.

Perhaps it's time to consider taking the next step – automating the workflows, or processes, to which these documents belong. "Document workflow can improve efficiency by more than 100%," notes James True, VP business development, Cabinet NG. "Efficiency, in many cases, marks the difference between companies that succeed and ones that fail. Document management software helps to cut the costs of making copies and associated costs. It all goes back to improving the bottom line, and using document management software can not only help companies preserve their earnings, but grow them as well."
