Without professional document management software in place, version control is at the discretion of individual users. Inevitability this can lead to documents being overwritten and data getting lost, again hampering productivity and service delivery. As many as 83% of employees struggle with versioning issues.
Effective collaboration requires each individual to be working on the most up-to-date document. But if you don’t have document software in place that saves each document in real-time, then there is a good chance an outdated version is used instead. With the version control options in a
document management system, everyone can see who made what changes and when, and all changes will be made instantly for all users.
81% of employees raised the need for mobile access to company documents. With modern working practices, that’s to be expected. While the digitisation of documents can help to facilitate this, it doesn’t provide the user benefits of a professional document management solution.
Freeing your employees to view, edit and sign documents on the go requires the more progressive features offered by a professional document solution. Currently, 74% of employees can’t electronically sign documents using a mobile device. By integrating e-signatures into your workflow can reduce document turnaround times by as much as 80%, allowing users to review and instantly sign them at a time and location that is convenient for them.
