In an era  that has challenged every organization with evolving regulatory demands and increased litigation, the imperative to gain control over business content has never been more critical. Experts know that managing the retention and disposition of business information reduces litigation risk and legal discovery costs. Problem is, that content needs to be classified or understood in order to determine why it must be retained, how long it must be retained and when it can be dispositioned. And that’s the last thing end-users want (or are able) to do!

Auto-Classification to the rescue! 

These new technologies and techniques provide automatic identification, classification, retrieval and, ultimately, archival and disposal capabilities for electronic business records and transient records according to governance policies. And, because Auto-Classification eliminates the need for business users to manually identify records and apply requisite classifications, it takes the burden of classification off the end-user. Improved consistency of classification and better enforcement of governance rules is the result. Join us for a detailed look at Auto-Classification to:  

• Understand the risks and costs of discoverable information
• Identify high-volume, low-touch content that is particularly susceptible
• Quantify the business benefits of Information Governance practices and Auto-Classification
• Get a feel for what Auto-Classification might look like in your organization and how seamlessly it can work

Document- and paper-centric processes are present in every organization. And, despite the availability of mature and sophisticated tools for automating those processes, many organizations are losing thousands of dollars each year by remaining in "manual mode". Although Business Process Management (BPM) has been proven to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, AIIM research indicates that only about 50% of businesses we surveyed have a BPM solution.  Why are these organizations still mired in paper? 

Perhaps the problem is knowing where to begin, and understanding exactly what processes can and should be automated. Join us as we clear up confusion, debunk myths, and provide an inside look at one organization’s actual experience with BPM. We’ll explain that:

• Before embarking on a BPM implementation, current processes should be audited to ensure there is agreement between users as to what the processes are now, what exceptions to the process can occur, and how exceptions are addressed;
• Organizations should strive to include decision makers across IT, Records Management and Line of Business to ensure that a comprehensive strategy is adopted;
• Since BPM projects are likely to meet resistance to change, organizations should ensure that potential users, and managers from other departments, are educated as regards the scope and potential benefits of BPM;
• Scan-to-process as a manual workflow can achieve considerably more benefits than simply scanning-to-archive, and the extension to capture-to-process by the addition of automated data recognition will provide considerable productivity benefits. This can be considered for both in-house and outsourced operations.

Many organizations are using SharePoint Records Center as their records solution, but with minor tweaks it can be turned into a world class records management system.

Join this webinar and learn:

• How SharePoint can be used for effective records management
• The limitations of basic SharePoint Records Management
• How to work around the limitations effectively

Automating accounts payable (AP) has been a mainstream application for document scanning and data capture. Scanning invoices, capturing data, and integrating with finance and ERP systems are just a few of the more regularly implemented elements of this application. And the return on investment can be very short – often only 12 months for high production operations.

But the efforts to improve the business processes around handling transactional exceptions can sometimes increase resources and costs in complex environments.

In this webinar based on recent industry research, we will look at how invoice automation is performing, what issues and shortcomings have been experienced and what returns have been achieved so far. We will look at the extent of wider content management underlying the single-point AP process, and how organizations plan to expand their capture investment across other transactions and processes.
