Document Management: The Office's Best Friend

Paper has been an office worker's companion for a very, very long time. Books themselves used to be like gold because they were so valuable. It was, indeed, a great day when the printing press was created. Skipping along through history, paper has continued to be the vessel through which we record, share and save information of professional or personal import. Now, as fond as all of this history of paper usage is, paper's place has changed a lot of the past few decades. Technology has helped us rely less and less on our old friend, and it is certainly benefiting both parties. On the one hand, you have the reduced need for paper, hence less trees cut down. On the other, you have increased productivity and ease of communication. One of the greatest tools that have stepped up to make this possible is document management.

How Document Management has Improved the Office

First off, what is document management? Well, quite simply, it is a computerized system built to organize a high quantity of documents for personal and professional use. How exactly does it improve offices? That question needs a little more lengthy of an explanation. (There's so much!)

ROI

Whenever you consider a change in your business, you have to consider the investment and the return. How do they measure up when it comes to document management? You'll want first to talk to a document management provider to determine the investment to get what you need, and we'll let you do that on your own. But what about the return? Our customers have seen savings through the following avenues:

• less paper used

• time saved

• project speed improved

• office space increased

Time really is money, and that's where document management hits hard to work for you. By saving you hours of time recording information, filing it, and storing that information only to attempt retrieval, document management has saved you big bucks. Suddenly, your employees can just do their jobs instead of spending hours a week filing and retrieving information.
