  2. Startling Facts….. elimination of inefficient paper processes allows more work to be done faster, with fewer people, and less cost # 1

  3. The Inefficiencies of Paper • The typical office worker spends 6 weeks a year looking for documents • It takes 7 minutes to find a paper file, but only 2-4 seconds to find a file electronically • Each file retrieval costs $1.40 vs. $ .01 for a 3 second electronic retrieval (@ $12/hr) • Cost to find a misfiled document: $120 • Cost to recreate a lost document: $250 Source: AIIM and ARMA

  4. Application Fit….. great demo, but will it solveour business problems? # 2

  5. What are your Business Problems? • Eliminate paper-based filing, retrieval, copying and routing costs? • Transition from paper to electronic documents, processes, distribution and storage? • Get instant access to documents from anywhere, from any type of application? • Process documents faster with paperless workflow automation? • Fulfill legal and regulatory compliance mandates? • Capture, distribute and archive computer output reports? • Archive corporate eMail? • Automate forms processing for data entry? • Create and edit Office documents? • Publish and update websites? • Provide a self-service web portal?

  6. Don’t Confuse Collaboration with Archiving and Transaction Processing….. a square peg will never fita round hole # 3

  7. Collaborative EDM • Revisable content • Word, Excel, PowerPoint • Web content • Contracts, agreements, reports, memos, documentation • Group editing, approval routing, check in/out, versions • Content search • Many casual users • Law, Pharmaceuticals, Government, Engineering, Consulting, Advertising, Publishing Transactional/Archival EDM • Fixed content • Images, forms, fax, eMail, computer output reports • Invoices, statements, checks, proof of deliveries, bills of lading • Evidentiary business records • Transaction processing workflow, e.g. accounts payable, accounts receivable • Index queries, LoB app integration • Few production workers • Manufacturing, Distribution, Healthcare, Financial Services, Transportation, Education

  8. Focus on Capture Technology ….. the most labor-intensive component of Document Management # 4

  9. Document Capture Technologies • Zone OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for fixed forms • High volume Forms Processing and Data Collection • Point and Shoot OCR for freeform • Intelligent OCR with attribute matching and dictionary lookups • Auto-Indexing with database lookups, screen scraping and defaults • Full page OCR for text search • Barcode Recognition • Optical Mark Reading • Distributed Indexing • Computer Output Capture (COLD) • Bulk eMail Archiving for compliance • Save directly from MS Office and Outlook • The universal filing basket • Batch Import

  10. SimpleIndex Automatic Zone OCR

  11. When Workflow Doesn’t Work….. it happens more often than you think # 5

  12. Why Workflow Doesn’t Work • For most applications, the concept of traditional rules-based workflow is fundamentally flawed • Too complex to build and inflexible in use • Too expensive and time consuming to deploy, maintain, change and/or grow • Most workflow deployments try to do too much

  13. BPE is Daunting “Business ProcessRe-Engineering”

  14. Rules-Free Workflow • Paperless ad hoc document routing – for approvals, transaction processing, collaboration or automatic distribution • Simple configuration – like instant messaging for documents with a buddy list • Automates existing business processes, no rules, users still make most decisions, no BPR • Includes ad hoc routing, secure work queues, running case notes, eForms, notification, deadlines, escalation, audit trails • Out-of-box deployment can resolve over 80% of process inefficiencies – paperless and instantaneous • Rapid implementation = quick ROI = success • Knowledge worker empowerment, not rigid rules enforcement

  24. What’s Needed For RM? • File plans • Classification • Universal record capture and indexing • Declaration • Rules-based record retention, disposition, migration and disposal schedules, holds • Activity logs and reporting • Support for non-rewriteable, non-erasable document storage • User/group document access control
