Are You Managing Your Business or Are Paper Documents Taking Control?
7 Key Benefits Executives Will Achieve by Utilizing an Electronic Document Management System
Business as usual is inefficient business. We are in a business climate where more has to be done with less and yet…90% of all business documents still exist on paper. Paper documents are both a blessing and a bane to an organization. They are the life-blood of the company. They turn information into action: purchase orders into product, bills of lading into deliveries and invoices into cash. If not managed proficiently, documents threaten:
- Enterprise profitability – 15% of corporate revenues is trapped annually in paper documents
- Operational efficiency – 50% of professional’s time is spend searching for paper documents
- Customer Retention – 75% of unresolved customer disputes are caused by missing paper documents
- Corporate compliance – Audit fines and penalties are derived from the inability to produce up to 30% of paper documents
