If you’re responsible for your company’s IT, you might be surprised by the impact document-based processes have on your day-to-day operations. On average, printing and document management represent 15% of an SMB’s overall IT budget and accounts for at least 12% of IT resources.


That’s a big chunk of your budget that could be used in more strategic places. When you get document management right, there’s less strain on your time and resources, and information can flow through your organization in a smooth predictable way.
