Scanning - Special offer
An increasing number of our clients are looking to further enhance the efficiency of their businesses and the management of paper is an obvious place to start. Firms that have already invested in document management technology are reporting breakthrough results. Alison Jackson from Lindenhouse explains why…
“Paper document management has become a nightmare for IFAs. With the FSA insisting that your documents are kept forever – storage has become a major issue. Worse than that, the risk to your business could be catastrophic should those documents be destroyed by flooding or fire.
If this wasn't enough to get you queuing up to invest in a robust electronic document management system, then the commercial arguments also offer compelling reasons why you should initiate change immediately. Recent research has shown that the average office worker spends between 4 to 6 weeks a year just looking for information!! Imagine how all of that resource could be put to better use in pursuit of new business opportunity.
Other advantages of electronic document management include the ability to see the entire client file from wherever you are in the country. With an increasing number of advisers working remotely, imagine the logistical nightmare of trying to continually keep a track of all of your paper files. For any business with more than one office, document management is an absolute must for all of the reasons already rehearsed.
All of your documents are stored securely in a central location, can be accessed from wherever you are in the world and are regularly backed up to protect your business should anything happen to its premises. Interestingly, the value of your business could also be significantly enhanced, as a potential purchaser will have access to your most valuable asset from one place. Of course, there is always the investment in software and hardware and there is no doubt that this can be an expensive exercise. However, the average return on investment following implementation will be between 3 to 6 months and once you have made the change, the ongoing business benefits are enormous.
Lindenhouse would like to make a special offer to all Quay Software CCD users. If you buy a system for 5-users or above, Lindenhouse will give you a FREE scanner worth over £925.
