In which folder was that document located? Answering this question takes an employee an average of 20% of their precious time. We address why information should not be location-based and what we call 'the end of folder structure'. No more searching, just finding.
Back-offices in financial services often have to deal with a lot of manual operations and processing. This labour-intensive work is expensive and slow; moreover, it leads to inconsistent results, possibly with errors. Automating these processes saves time and efficiency.
Many organisations still work with paper and that is a waste. A waste of the planet, but also a waste with regard to the risks an organisation faces. Moreover, paper use hampers an organisation's ability to find and analyse information.
As an organisation, you want to allow employees to use their own devices. But how do you make sure employees can access company information safely and quickly?
Research shows that organisations use 4 or more systems to store information and documents, resulting in poor findability and accessibility of information.
The process around approving and/or signing documents can be very time-consuming. How can organisations structure this and save a lot of time?
Since the advent of the new privacy legislation, more is expected of organisations. How do you ensure that information and documents are secure?
How often is a customer file completely complete? Information is often missing or scattered from a customer file. We talk about how all the information from a file comes together, without moving the information around.
Of all business applications, 90% of the Netherlands works most often with Outlook. Yet files are often not located here. How do you make all files, information and documents available in Outlook?
Many financial services companies deal with document changes and different versions. We address how to optimise version control around documents.
