Can we all agree:
Information is Valuable?
But how much
are we spending
on getting to our information? 
Gartner estimates that companies spend
between 1% and 3% of their revenue
on document production.
... but only about 3% of the 4.3 Trillion pages
produced by U.S. companies are managed
But it's not only green we're wasting...
Document output costs are rising
by 11% / year - along with
associated costs.
... but WHAT can I do?
Review the landscape & take inventory.
Know your costs & know your culture.
Do something about it. Take action.
Do your processes make sense?
Be prepared; change isn't easy.
Evaluate software to see what works to help you control costs and analyze usage behavior.
We are all concerned
about the cost of fuel,
right?
a quick definition:
a document is a vehicle by which
information moves in and through
an organization.
Are documents valuable?
