Case
study: Save £100,000 per annum in postage and printing costs
Communication throughout your business can be a highly expensive
and time-inefficient.
A recent case study in the use of a secure Extranet with which
to manage member communication demonstrated a saving of over £100,000
per annum in postage and printing costs alone. This validates the
use of an Extranet, but the question is how to develop and maintain
the content of the site. Ideally, content should be managed by people
who are empowered by virtue of their management of domains of the
business and because of their knowledge of what needs to be communicated
and NOT because of their technical ability to author website pages.
That is exactly what the Quay Web-Builder has been designed to
achieve.
Falcon extranet
As part of a drive to improve communication and to be as technologically
efficient as possible, the Falcon Group has introduced an extranet
or ‘members only website’ with the help of Quay Software
Solutions.
The
Falcon Extranet has many advantages
“It is very simple to operate, offers superb functionality
and is such a cost-efficient communications tool that
we expect it to pay for itself in time, postage and
printing within the first 6-9 months.
What we now have is a massively efficient communications
tool. The extranet hosts a library of information including
training manuals, company forms, Fact finds and supplementary
questionnaires.
When new legal/compliance or any other important information
needs to be sent to members, we simply post a global
email to them.
It’s an end to the ‘paper nightmare’
that we used to experience and we’re expecting
to slash our annual postage bill which previously amounted
to £100,000 per annum. What’s more, the
feedback from our members is extremely positive.
We have appreciated Quay’s approach of developing
these things incrementally. This means that we get our
advisers comfortable with one innovation at a time and
that they know their way around the technology before
we introduce the client database.”
