Intelligent Document Efficiency Analyzer (IDEA)

Most organizations could benefit from understanding their document related expenses in the office. However, that information is not readily available as decisions on output equipment, supplies and service are often fragmented across departments. Even if these costs are fully understood and well managed, the truth is that they still only represent 10% of the fully burdened costs. It's the hidden support costs that have the greatest impact on a company's total document lifecycle. Independent research and case studies suggest that most companies need help:

• Maximizing the efficiency and productivity of document-related hardware
• Measuring total print, copy, fax and outsourced document volumes
• Identifying the most appropriate technology to address their needs
• Managing paper and electronic documents more effectively throughout their lifecycle
• Developing a comprehensive strategy for managing all of their documents productively

True Cost of Managing Documents

For every $1 you spend to create a document, you'll burn as much as $9 more managing it. A look at some of the hidden costs of managing office documents can be quite revealing. For example, industry studies* have demonstrated that the total cost of printing, copying and managing office documents is $8,000 - $10,000 per knowledge worker -- every year. Just imagine how much of these costs are hidden from view. The first step toward improvement is to know exactly where each dollar is being spent.

We can help you expose and eliminate the hidden document costs in your organization. Use the Intelligent Document Efficiency Analyzer for insight into savings opportunities.
