Studies show that organizations spend an average of 15 percent of their total revenues manually
creating, managing, and distributing paper documents.*
Analyzing and acting on critical information immediately requires a solution that also manages
enterprise information after it has been disseminated. This minimizes cycle time by eliminating
the need to distribute or store critical business intelligence manually, which streamlines
paperwork and enhances employee productivity. Distribution of information, coupled with
intelligent safekeeping of knowledge for further reference, will empower an organization by
helping it overcome the information glut.
Studies estimate that the average document is copied, either physically or electronically, nine to
eleven times, at a cost of about $18. Routing and delivering hard copy documentation involves
tedious faxing, mailing, or hand-delivery. Electronic report delivery lowers or eliminates paper
production and costs while significantly reducing cycle time for any manual paper process.
* Gartner estimates that knowledge workers spend 10 percent of their time just looking for the information they need to
perform a task or make a decision; 20 to 40 percent of their time managing existing documents; and 30 percent of their
time on document-related, non-value-added tasks.
