Your Challenges

To deliver the greatest value, business solutions must increase organisational efficiency and contribute to overall strategic goals. Workflow automation, document design, digital archiving and information retrieval are some of the solutions needed for today's businesses. But more importantly, the best solutions must deliver more than basic functionality, they must answer real business needs.

Key Challenges

  • Pre-printed forms are costly, difficult to modify, wasteful and require a lot a manipulation
  • Distribution of transactional documents can be a time-consuming manual process that can lead to human errors
  • Fear of hidden costs in host or server software replacement can delay upgrading
  • Multiple document types may require multiple systems or platforms, thus, increased costs and workload for IT
  • Reduced process efficiency and increased costs when distributing documents to branch offices
  • Sending invoices that simply state the items purchased and how much the customer owes doesn't maximise the postage and labor spent on getting them out
  • Black-and-white or low-in-colour promotional documents have low response rates and consequently low return on investment when sent separately from the usual mailing of transactional documents (such as invoices)
  • Marketing departments spend a lot of time and money to update document templates and forms for a new look-and-feel, personalisation, or other promotional needs
