Professionals and Electronic Document Management - EDM delivers value beyond expectations
Author: Linda MooreEvery now and then this research turns up some really interesting results – as with our latest whitepaper, “Professionals and Electronic Document Management” (EDM). In this case it’s a really strong example of how the reality of EDM exceeds all expectations.
We asked people who are considering the implementation of an EDM system whether they expect it to provide a significant increase in efficiency and productivity. 31.6% believed it would.
When we asked people who have already implemented an EDM system if it significantly increased efficiency and productivity, a whopping 72.8% said yes. That’s more than double the expectations of those considering EDM.
Efficiency and productivity are not the only benefits of EDM. You can see some of the other benefits and what our respondents thought of them in the graph below. In the whitepaper we also ask respondents how EDM can improve other aspects of a business, such as assisting the management of Governance, Risk and Compliance and facilitating working remotely.
At the moment only 40% of our respondents (primarily medium and small professional firms) have implemented a comprehensive EDM system. Where does your business stand when it comes to Electronic Document Management? Do you have it all sorted from scanning documents in to sending out electronic invoices? Maybe you’re more like most of our respondents, managing a number of documents online but still keeping a few filing cabinets out back.
If you’re considering EDM but are not convinced that it will be worth the effort, I encourage you to read what our respondents had to say – and see how the reality really does beat all expectations.
