Although technology has enabled companies to expand their reach, such growth often results in as many challenges as it does opportunities. One significant obstacle is effectively managing the information exchanged with customers, suppliers and partners - as the costs associated with uncontrolled document production, distribution and storage can quickly neutralise any new business benefits.
Today, a comprehensive document strategy can be the difference between meeting or exceeding expectations and incurring expenses. And, while terms such as customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning pose difficult questions to many companies, IKON's Professional Services team blends technology and workflow expertise with best-in-class hardware/software solutions to answer the call for document efficiency at work.
IKON's Professional Services organisation provides businesses with the ability to:
- Recognise and reduce document costs
- Increase communication effectiveness
- Enhance document production/distribution
- Streamline document storage
- Automate costly, time-consuming manual tasks
- Provide reliable, secure and efficient IT infrastructure
- Methodology Framework to ensure your needs are met.
IKON Professional Services cover five primary areas:
Document Strategy Assessment
Document management and related costs are much larger in scope than many companies realise. Do you have a strategy for controlling these costs? IKON's Document Strategy Assessment (DSA) is a thorough, consultative analysis of your organisation's document usage, focused on cost remediation, productivity enhancements, device optimisation, and process improvements throughout the entire document lifecycle.
Activity ID & Measurement
The uncontrolled proliferation of devices and page volumes results in uncontrolled costs. IKON Activity Identification and Measurement (AIM) solutions allow organisations to examine document workflows to improve efficiency, identify devices, analyse volumes, and drive accountability into document production.
Electronic Document Workflow
The information explosion has turned workflow into overflow. IKON Electronic Document Workflow solutions improve efficiency via digital technology. Converting from hardcopies to digital documents allows organisations to experience instant delivery and simplified storage, decrease document delivery expenses, and increase employee productivity.
