Improving Business Processes
A special section of this months newsletter.
Over 90 percent of organizations think they are inefficient.
That is the conclusion of an analysis of data from a survey of 5,500 company records managers from medium-sized organizations conducted by information management vendor Iron Mountain in 2011.
The purpose of the survey was to uncover key business efficiency challenges associated with managing both paper and electronic information.
The survey asked respondents to weigh the importance of improving processes through better information management against the current state of those processes in their organizations.
There is near unanimous agreement that improving core business processes makes an organization more successful.
However, the results of the survey reveal most organizations are unhappy with how their core processes run. They do not understand how to improve them despite having formal programs for how their organizations should manage information.
