Who Controls Your Information?
Referring to your day-to-day information, which reflects your business and profitability, how much of this information is accurate? Do all of your departments have the same vital information?
Consider for a moment that up to 90% of your valuable information is unstructured, such as:
Customer Information | Price List | Proposals | Product Information | Correspondence | Quotations | CAD & Data Sheets | Brochures | Projects |
Most information is stored as documents generated, for example, in word processor, spreadsheet or presentation package, in each department.
Your valuable information may be scattered across the organization with each member of your staff keeping their own documents to themselves. This can result, for example, in:
- Inability to find information when the author is absent, causing unnecessary delays in answering customer queries
- Staff constantly “reinventing the wheel” instead of starting from a similar existing document.
- Private copies and photocopies of documents, resulting in out-of-date or incorrect information being given to customers, or used as the starting point for new work.
- Inconsistent company images being presented as each department develops its own style.
- Information being irretrievably lost even though there may still be a physical copy of it somewhere in your system.
Wasted storage space resulting from unnecessary duplication.
