This Fall’s Must-Have? Document Management!

Fall has officially arrived! Cozy knits, boots and apple cider will be making more frequent appearances in the office and around town, if they haven’t already. But are you familiar with that other popular topic—document management? Here are a few reasons why going paperless should be on the to-do list of every business looking to save money, lessen stress and grow.

1. It’s flattering for all. Just as black is flattering on every shape and size, so is an integrated document management solution: a good system will benefit any industry, department and process. For instance, with document management software installed, your Sales and Customer Service departments will decrease order entry time and spend this extra time focusing on providing better service instead. Also, you are likely aware that your Human Resources department must save past and present employees’ documents for a certain amount of years before they may be destroyed. The time and space required to maintain these files alone only grows each year as new employees are hired. Going paperless would significantly increase workflow efficiency and save money and time for these departments.

2. It’s timeless. Smart document management software can evolve along with your company, growing as you expand and seamlessly transitioning from one department to another or from one location to another.

3. It’s a staple. Like a good pair of trousers, your integrated document management solution can work well alone or with added help. Staple wardrobe pieces can be accessorized to achieve a different effect. Similarly, add-ons or upgrades will complement your document management software to provide new capabilities and efficiencies.

Going paperless is not an ephemeral trend. Increasing space, efficiency and business will always remain popular. Plus, the benefits reaped by managing business processes instead of managing paperwork are so great that customers often realize their ROIs more quickly than expected. The preference for document management solutions is here to stay.
