Are you still using paper in your office? Do you think paperless is impossible?
Printing is one of the biggest expenses for a business, after payroll and taxes. You spend a lot on ink, toner, and paper. You also need file cabinets, folders, and space to store all those paper documents. It’s often easier to steal, copy, or damage physical documents. In addition, paper documents severely limit collaboration and shared editing, since each iteration requires printing out the document. Version control is almost impossible.
Thankfully, there’s a better way! An intelligent document management system can transform your business, decreasing operational costs and increasing efficiency and profitability.
Here at ASI, we partner with Beyond Limits to provide DocLink, a document management system that helps businesses go digital and paperless.
Benefits of a Document Management System
Although transitioning to an intelligent document management system may require an upfront investment of time and money, it’s worth it. An intelligent document management system can help your company in many ways:
- Cost savings: This benefit may be the most obvious. By transitioning to electronic documents, you can reduce or eliminate paper and printing costs (ink, toner, etc.). You can also save on paper storage costs, such as files, cabinets, space, and even offsite storage facilities.
- Time savings: By automating processes and editing documents digitally, you can streamline your processes, speed up your approval cycles, simplify your audits, and retrieve your documents instantly.
- Process improvements: With a document management solution, you can get instant reports and audits and automate your workflows.
- Easy collaboration: Digital documents in a document management system have strict version control, allowing seamless collaboration in real time.
- Role-based permissions: An intelligent software system can secure your documents by only allowing specific people to access any particular document. You can always tell who has edited the document and who has access to view it.
