Although the procurement of business documents may comprise an extremely small percentage of your company's annual purchasing budget, your employees spend over 50% of their time reading and processing paper-based information. This is over half of every working day, on average! Add to this expense the cost to finance, store, distribute, use, file and maintain printed records can range from $30-$60 for every one dollar in procurement cost. With such a high cost in human and operational resources, why is so much attention paid to document procurement cost and so little attention paid to document design and operational efficiency?
Typically, the procurement of custom business documents is viewed no differently than the purchase of a desk or a chair. There is, however, one important difference!
