Over the years, there has been a lot of hype surrounding the mythical "paperless office," and that has turned a lot of people off.
Thus, it's always nice to see a well-done study on trends in the document management industry. Numbers and statistics inject reality into the conversation.
Oce Business Services recently released just such a study, titled "Meeting the Challenge: How Organizations are Implementing Document Management Strategies to Help Drive Business in a Tough Economy." The press release is here and the full report here.
One statistic that really caught our eye? A full 74% of business decision-makers surveyed anticipated outsourcing part or all of their document management needs. Document imaging headed the list of outsource-able tasks.
Such a high percentage may seem strange at first, but if you've ever tried to do a big scanning job with a standard office scanner, it makes perfect sense that outsourcing is the way to go.
Heavy duty scanners used by document imaging service providers can scan and index documents ten times as fast as regular scanners, and with far fewer errors.
