Document Scanning and Workflow Automation-How both can improve your office efficiency!

If you’re in an office work environment, you’ve seen how paper documents can slow down the work process. Beyond the physical requirement of having to print a document, copy and then store paper records, the amount of time that employees spend managing paper records can fill up a day’s work, and valuable office space.

Making a commitment to make document scanning part of your office routine can actually improve the efficiency and production of your employees, and enhance their ability to work beyond the physical limits of a workstation or desk.

Here are just a few of the ways that document scanning can help your business be more efficient and help your bottom line.

• The ability to organize, retrieve and share information can help your business run more efficiently. Employees can access records from anywhere when documents are hosted online, and the speed of access for digital records is much faster than with paper documents.
• Integrating your business processes through workflow automation can streamline your operations, reducing the administrative costs associated with managing paper, giving employees time to focus on more productive tasks.
• Limiting access to sensitive or confidential client data through document screening protocols designed to provide user rights to only those employees who need to have them.

Shifting from paper to digital records shouldn’t be an either-or proposition. Speak to a certified records management professional to find out how you can begin to reap the benefits of improved efficiency and reduce the amount of paper in your office.
