subject: How Document Management Will Improve Productivity And Bottom Line Profitability. [print this page] Over 85% of the the Fortune 500 use document management and they use it for 2 simple reasons. It improves productivity and therefore profitability. Having said that, only 15% of global business in total use or have ever considered implementing an electronic document management system. WHY?
The answer is simple, lack of understanding coupled to resistance to change. Resistance to change is fine if you don't understand the benefit of making that change but KNOWING that altering the way you access and reference documents will reap massive time and cost benefits and STILL not making the change is reckless and illogical. If a recognised business guru, someone you really trusted, someone with a faultless track record told you that by changing a physical filing system to an electronic version would improve paper handling productivity by as much as 45% you would probably listen and then do something about it. After all, who would not want to improve productivity by that much. No one serious about improving their business that's for sure.
There are knock-on benefits too, not least of which is freeing up expensive office space. The National office of statistics tell us that for every desk in UK offices, 3 filing cabinets will be keeping that desk company! With office rents in the major cities running at record levels it can be as expensive to keep a filing cabinet as it is to keep a junior employee!
So in brief the benefits of at least looking into electronic document management make a compelling argument. Save time, money, space. Increase productivity, profits, customer response times and gain a significant competitive edge.
