How small and medium sized business can adapt to control paper and information costs

Today's economic tribulations have created an environment that requires small and medium business (SMB), as well as the Government, physician practices, and associations to adopt a document management system. For SMB's, gaining control of their documents and streamlining paper-based business activity equals higher efficiency and profit from every dollar earned. For the Government, the massive bailouts and stimulus package requires the transparency provided by proper record management. SMB's and the Government also desperately need a way to store documents, including email, scanned paper, files that were born electronic, and paper archives in a single, browsable and searchable system.

As part of the current US Federal government stimulus package, physician practices and hospitals will be moving more rapidly to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). The purpose of the EMR is to give physicians and everyone involved in patient care the ability to rapidly access and assess patient records, including the current data captured electronically and the historical paper files, captured with a scanner into the same system. Associations have taken a huge hit economically, but the need to provide high levels of service to their members remains the same. This is forcing associations to take a look at their document-based processes and look for places to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
