Delivering paperwork from desk to desk, requesting written approval, manually searching for correspondence—all of these tasks are inefficient and time-consuming. Processing documents could take hours, even days and sometimes even longer to find them. Manual data entry is labor intensive and can lead to errors and confusion. Managing the accuracy and timeliness of projects is tricky, especially when multiple people are involved. In order to stay on task, you’re constantly checking in and waiting on your employees. Automated Processes help data, tasks, and documents get automatically delivered or stored to the right people at the right time.
One of the biggest challenges with digital businesses today is managing content and data between multiple business programs and applications. Not all of a company’s departments use the same programs, making it hard to collaborate enterprise-wide. Manually editing documents across different programs will ultimately lead to additional (and unnecessary) rounds of revision. Having to email documents back and forth not only takes time, but it can lead to errors, costing you more than you think.

That data is then stored into your electronic document management system where it is analyzed, sent to the appropriate people or third party programs, and properly archived for easy retrieval. The next time someone goes to enter customer information into the system, it is already captured and repopulated into the designated fields, eliminating repetitive entry.
