Top Five Benefits of Document Imaging Series – Part 1

Quickly Accessing Documents –

Companies that have large numbers of paperwork immediately recognize the benefits of document imaging. They’re able to quickly access documents from a shared drive or document management software. These programs keep documents indexed and organized, allowing employees instant access to archives or historical documents.

According to a recent study by Coopers & Lybrand, nearly 75% of time spent working with paper-based information is wasted solely from searching and filing documents. Another study performed by Gartner Group found the average employee spends 400 hours per year searching for documents that could’ve easily been located digitally. Again, that’s just one employee.

Corporate benefits of speedy document retrieval include:

Employee Productivity: By eliminating the amount of time thumbing through physical documents and file cabinets, employees can ultimately get work done faster and more efficiently.

Streamline Workflow: By quickly retrieving important documents, the overall workflow process of employees is more connected and streamlined with no gaps or delays.

Security: With document management, files will never be lost and you can access and re-file documents instantaneously. Employees can easily access them without fear of losing critical information.

Easy access and speedy retrieval of your documents is not only a luxury, but it’s vital in today’s business environment. It saves time, money, and physical space and eliminates the fear of losing documents important to the management of your business.
