It’s safe to say that document management isn't the first topic of conversation to drop at the water cooler or in the break room.
“So did you hear about how optical character recognition, or OCR scanning service technology, will take all of our PDFs and convert them to text-rich, searchable HTML files online?”
This doesn't happen.
However, for CEOs and business owners, that kind of conversation should be occurring with more frequency, as proven by a recent report regarding the state of document management. The report estimates that 6.5 to 8.8 hours per week are wasted on searching for documents. Some of the key discoveries of the report, which addressed the challenges and trends with current document management strategies, include how:
· Document retrieval, or the inability to locate content, and inefficient mobility are the main difficulties encountered.
· Well over half — actually 68 percent — of businesses have at least five storage repositories.
· Almost two-thirds of companies are implementing document management initiatives, since it is seen as a priority but also a difficult transition.
· 77 percent of those surveyed said they still use file servers as a primary repository source.
The seamless sharing of files in one concentrated, secured system was and, more importantly, continues to be one of the foremost issues for companies to address, especially as there is a never-ending flow of content that needs to be saved and secured.
