Store Transaction Documents Electronically Instead of As Paper

Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, May 8, 2019 @ 08:05 AM

I recently was dealing with a reservation for parking at the airport for a trip and I was offered two options for capturing my confirmation; printing it out or storing electronically on my phone or computer.  This is a pretty common occurrence these days in all forms of consumer transactions.  "Do you want an emailed receipt' shows up at the cash register at Home Depot every time.  Other interactions like banking, ticket purchases and airplane boarding passes all offer an electronic option instead of printing out a copy.

AP Automation In The Cloud | Introductory Video

Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Oct 5, 2016 @ 07:10 AM

As we have discussed in a couple of previous articles AP Automation is one of the fields which can offer significant benefit to most businesses.  Currently the average business is still handling at least 50 percent of its accounts payable in a paper format taking time, aggravation and risk when compared to the potential of a more streamlined process using newer technologies.  

One of the things which holds many potential adopters back is the concern over installing, maintaining infrastructure and financing the cost of setting up a solution for AP.  Like any software implementation it is a challenge to figure out if the returns are going to offset the costs of the hardware, software and the administration of the potential solution.  In light of this inertia often prevails and the status quo becomes the default option.

Enter the cloud

One of the reasons that so much interest and attention has developed over the past few years around cloud computing  is the potential to reduce the pressure for this default inertia when new system potential is identified.

Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Sep 14, 2016 @ 08:09 AM

If you need to improve productivity and find a simple way to Scan to your PC, Mac locally or in Cloud Apps like Microsoft 365 (Office 365) OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or others, then this could be the App you have been looking for.

Most modern MFPs (multi-function printers) include the capability of basic network scanning in their setup. Using simple scan to email, or scan to folder systems, they make it possible for users to send and convert paper documents to images like PDF format. This capability provides many benefits to your users in the 'war on paper' but still leads to manual steps for filing or renaming, making the systems not as efficient for frequent work.

Implementing Good Information Governance

Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Jun 1, 2016 @ 08:06 AM

When I started in the Document Management field the common term for the practice of capturing paper records and converting them to digital images was simply document imaging.  While the process involved in doing the conversion seems pretty simple in today's terms back twenty some years ago it was seen as a miraculous change in office environments.
