Technologies, such as social media and smartphones, are making for savvier guests, who are more confident in making greater demands from the restaurants and hotels they frequent. Word of mouth spreads a lot faster on the internet and through a smartphone-enabled customer base.
Up north, the freeze is beginning to thaw. Patio furniture is coming out of storage, and decks are getting brushed off.
While it never gets too cold here in Miami, spring cleaning is no less an annual ritual. And these days, that means our virtual as much as our physical spaces are due for a dusting.
Today’s hyper-connected world affords businesses countless opportunities to expand into new markets and improve productivity. But the rapid proliferation of data and digital transformation has also led to an exponential increase in security risks. Digital data is now the most valuable commodity in the world, and protecting it starts with addressing the weakest link: employees.
Automation is one of the most pervasive buzzwords of our time. But it’s also a vague term that has far-reaching implications. As such, some business leaders are understandably quick to dismiss it as hype rather than embrace the phenomenon as a way to reduce costs and boost productivity.
Just because you have a scanner to turn paperwork into digital files doesn’t mean your document capture strategy is perfect.
Scanned images can be stored on a hard drive or in the cloud, and they can be shared over email. But if this is the only functionality you’re getting out of your captured images, you’re missing out on the crucial gains in efficiency and productivity that come with pairing a robust document management system (DMS) with advanced document capture.
Financial audits, tax filings, quarterly statements, billing and invoicing. Finance departments work with a massive number of documents. Mismanaging or improperly storing all this information leads to even more inefficiencies.
Luckily, new digital tools make easy and efficient document management simple.
Documents are the lifeblood of any business, but managing constantly growing repositories of information across an increasingly diverse range of formats isn’t easy. Yet business efficiency, productivity, and growth depend heavily on the critical document management process.
Documents, whether in digital or printed form, have long played a core role in any business, but given the rapid rise of cloud and mobile computing, managing business information is far more challenging than it used to be. A document management system (DMS) captures, stores, and retrieves documents in any format, but to be truly effective, it must integrate seamlessly with your core business processes.
Technology has changed the classroom, providing richer learning experiences at every stage, but the administrative departments of too many colleges and universities lag behind, still relying on hard-copy forms for many of their records and transactions.
If you work in professional services, you’ve probably heard about workflow automation software before. In fact, you likely have the hazy, inexplicit feeling that, even though you’re not entirely sure how automation would affect your own business processes, your organization really should be using one.
