Typical organizations have anywhere from 20 to 40 documents required for onboarding a new employee. By going the paperless route, HR professionals can find better traction toward tasks and engagements that truly matter to their internal constituents.

Lewis Carroll, in his famous book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” writes “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” It’s a reminder that when you lack a clear goal or direction, any path you take may seem valid or justified... no matter how inefficient or mistake-prone it might be.

Without a thorough assessment, there’s a higher risk of content management system inefficiencies, misalignment with organizational needs, and wasted resources.

The "technology tipping point" refers to a crucial moment when a business realizes it's spending more time managing documents, content, processes, and technology than focusing on its core operations. It serves as a wake-up call and an opportunity for transformation. It's a chance to step back, identify inefficiencies in day-to-day operations, and regain focus on what truly drives your business or organization.

According to Deloitte, HR automation can improve process efficiency by up to 60%, allowing HR teams to focus on strategic tasks rather than repetitive administrative work.

American businessman and author Gary Vaynerchuk recently posted this nugget on his LinkedIn page: “Speed is 4 billion times more important than perfection.”

For Finance Departments, Document/Content Management could mean working smarter, faster, and more securely, clearing the road ahead for you and your organization.

A Finance Department is a major thoroughfare for any organization, serving as a central pathway for financial activities and resources moving at top speed.

Workplaces perform at their best when operations are efficient, and all business-critical files are easily accessible (to the appropriate people) and fully secured.

Our hallway closet was in shambles.

Embracing the out-of-sight, out-of-mind methodology, the space had become mostly avoided all together, serving more as a receptacle for any miscellaneous item that desperately needed a home. Books.

Those who embrace change in the way they conduct business every day, across an evolving digital landscape - from automating tasks to taking a firm stance on data and network security – will produce measurable business value and soar ahead of the flock. 

Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch once said, “change before you have to.”

Innovative leaders understand well the idea of change as the rule rather than the exception. In mid-flight, they do not hesitate to travel beyond the flock of the industry companions around them, even if it means flying solo.

Technology plays an intimate role in the potential innovation of businesses, particularly in seeking a competitive edge and a notable advantage in productivity. Those who embrace change in the way they conduct business every day, across an evolving digital landscape - from automating tasks to taking a firm stance on data and network security – will produce measurable business value and soar ahead of the flock. Assuming, of course, they do so strategically and with a partner that understands and thoughtfully considers their core business objectives.
