Reduce Cost & Improve Processes

IMS can be a great improvement in your office, offering many savings. Once implemented you will begin to save immediately on your printing cost. Until now, your organization used paper in a filing cabinet. Do you have retention requirements to store/house all of your ever growing paper files? What is the retention of your digital files created in WORD, EXCEL, or PDFs? If you do not print these files out on paper, then your retention requirements have changed from the extremely expensive, time consuming methods of paper storing to the simplified and inexpensive methods of storing digital documents within IMS. Now all your digital files received by email can simply be imported into IMS.

Another way to reduce print cost is to capture faxes digitally. A digital fax has much higher quality and usually comes in the form of a PDF or Tiff. Many commercial copiers offer this feature, or you can purchase a very inexpensive fax board for your computer. For larger orgainazations, a fax server could become an effecient and cost effective product.
