document management | scanning
Companies are always looking for ways to make their workplace more productive and efficient and to reduce costs. Document management has an important part to play here. A survey conducted in 2012 showed that 21.3% of losses in employee productivity are due to paper-based documentation challenges that businesses go through. Converting your paper files into digital files via document scanning services can really help in alleviating the nuisance of managing paperwork at the office. While some documents do need to be printed, digitization can considerably increase your workplace productivity. With document scanning businesses, you can achieve superior efficiency, better systems for storage and retrieval and greater security controls. Let’s take a deeper look into how digitization can prove to be beneficial for your business.

Sometimes a little too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. An overabundance of motivation can lead to stress, fatigue, and burnout. According to the Harvard Business Review, the majority of managers now spend over 85% of their work time checking emails, checking up on meetings, connecting with people over the phone, and checking their phones for important, work-related updates. This is a staggering 50% jump in just a decade’s time. Clearly, we need better ways to manage time.
