In an era of transformational possibilities for automating document management, the act of opening an envelope delivered to a centralized mailroom can seem like an astonishingly retrograde exercise.
But it’s reality for many businesses, especially those dependent upon sensitive physical records: the streamlining and integration of data and documents that arrive by mail, email, email attachments and web forms is a nearly impossible task.
In the face of such challenges, the mailroom that once was the hub of your business operations can become an extraordinary drain on time and resources – a hybrid of spotty automation and old-fashioned paper shuffling that is slow, error-prone, and, when sensitive documents are involved – risky.
But you don’t have to put up with a clunky process just because your business takes in information in multiple formats via multiple paths. Workflow automation software and the right system for digitizing, classifying and archiving documents can transform your mailroom into a secure, efficient and accessible system of information delivery no matter what the mail brings.
