Leftovers...

Get more value from your systems by reusing your information

Some might argue that one of the best things about our Thanksgiving holiday (besides, of course, being thankful for all the good things in our lives) is the leftovers. Finding ways to reuse all of the food that remains after the big meal is challenging, but the benefits and savings make it well worth the effort. To some, a turkey sandwich made from leftovers is even better than the main meal.

If you think about it, the information contained within your enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management (BPM) systems is similar. Obviously, the information you capture is important the first time you use it. The metadata used to index your documents helps you to search efficiently, letting you retrieve your documents and the specific information you need within them. But if you could logically reuse the information related to your documents, you could get even more from your resources. You could avoid data entry errors, maintain more accurate files, make smarter and timelier decisions, and automate routine business processes…essentially making the “leftovers” even better than the first round.
