Developing a Return on Investment (ROI) for a Document Management System

Justifying the cost of a proposed document management system can be a daunting task. The cost justification process is a method of gathering data from your current operational processes and comparing that data against a proposed system’s processes and costs, i.e., the paper process versus a potential document management process.

There are basically two types of cost justification dollars – hard dollar saving such as reduction in operating costs, facility costs and possibly a reduction in personnel; and soft dollar savings such as improved customer service, faster internal communications and increased competitive advantage. While hard dollar savings can be convincing because you can come up with a system payback time, soft dollar savings are more difficult to prove, however, how many angry customers can you handle, you know that unhappy employees are not valuable to a company and who doesn’t want a competitive advantage.

Is your Company Ready for E-Discovery or Disaster Recovery?

Efficient management of electronic records is more important than ever because of the amended Rule 26 and other changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). Will your company be ready to produce emails and attachments and other electronic documents if you are involved in litigation?
If a disaster strikes and you lose your critical documents or data, will you be able to stay in business? To recover effectively, companies need to capture their paper documents and store them in a document management system in order to have immediate access in the event of a disaster.

With etfile you can have a proven electronic document management system along with off-site replication of your data. Using our etfile document management solutions and etbackup-online, our simple and secure remote backup, you can be protected in both of these scenarios.

To learn more about these products and to be ready in the event of litigation or a disaster - contact us at 1.888.672-7737 or info@etfile.com

Real Estate and Document Management - Why Go Paperless

Many real estate agencies are weighing the benefits of going to a document management system to reduce the paperwork in their workflows. Electronic document management can increase workflow and productivity in your workplace as well as improving your environment. The processes and procedures that you use today will be hugely impacted by going paperless.

Many real estate agencies are managing a large number of locations, implementing a document management system will bring many benefits, especially to these types of agencies. Because so many companies are involved in managing real estate, there often are multiple copies of same document. You may have many different departments each with their own copy and each with their own filing system. If you have amendments or create additional documents, you will have multiple files that will have to be updated. Scanning and saving your documents into a central repository will eliminate the need for multiple copies and will also free up physical space that is now taken up by filing cabinets.
