How well is your organization controlling document costs?
In reality, most organizations do not control document-related expenses well. Independent research and IKON experience confirm that most companies have:

• No inventory of the document-related hardware within their organization
• No accurate data regarding total print, copy, fax and outsourced document volumes
• Little knowledge of user practices and associated costs
• A cursory understanding of the flow of mission critical documents through the organization
• Difficulty managing paper and electronic documents effectively
• No formal document strategy

Gain Insight into Your Document Costs

We invite you to use the IKON Document Efficiency Analyzer (IDEA). This intelligent tool utilizes a methodology combining United States and Canadian Census statistics, industry data and knowledge-based algorithms to calculate the amount your company probably spends on office document output and provides savings estimates. Simply enter your revenue, number of employees, select your industry and IDEA will do the rest.

Discover savings equivalent to 1% of your revenue
For a thorough approach to understanding your document costs, consider an IKON Document Strategy Assessment. Companies spend billions to improve delivery systems, manufacturing processes, employee skills, and marketing initiatives. But industry analysts estimate that 98% of companies do not have an effective document strategy - a strategy that could potentially save them millions of dollars in operating costs!

Put simply, a document strategy is an accurate "map" of document processes that helps us see inefficiencies and improve information processes.

The benefits of a document strategy are significant because:

• The way we produce and manage documents is a hidden gold mine for potential cost-saving opportunities
• When we examine mission-critical documents that drive business, we are likely to find better ways to manage document capture, workflow and output to:
  • Generate fast, bottom-line results
  • Help people work better together
• Intelligent document strategies pinpoint precise opportunities to integrate people, process, and technology.

IKON offers Document Strategy Assessment services to help you identify opportunities to save money and improve efficiency by tracing document lifecycles and measuring document output.
