Drowning in Paper

The great paradox of the information technology revolution is that it has created more paper output, not less. As a result, it is estimated that 90% of today’s corporate intelligence remains on paper. International Data Corporation estimates that the amount of paper being created by businesses was doubling every five years in 1985. By 1994, it was doubling every nine months. Today it takes only six months for the amount of paper output to double. Managing this mass of output is extremely costly. While 60% of an employee’s time is usually spent working with documents, less than 10% is actually spent reading the information – the rest of the time is spent looking for the document. This results in up to 750 hours per year of unproductive time for a manager and up to 150 hours per year for an executive. As managing this data becomes more critical, the question becomes how to best accomplish this task. A Document Management system from The Collister Group provides companies an efficient and effective alternative to "the paper chase".
