Oce Business Services to Showcase Records Management Solutions at ALA Conference & Expo
Tuesday 06. May 2008 - Company will also demonstrate Oce Max document process performance management system
Oce Business Services, a leader in document process management and electronic discovery, will detail key strategies for effective control of law firm and law office records next week at the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA) Annual Conference and Exposition. The company will also demonstrate Oce Max, the first comprehensive business performance management system designed to specifically manage document processes and outsourcing service providers.
The ALA conference and expo is a highlight of the legal management field’s annual event calendar, providing a wealth of opportunities for legal administrators to enhance their professional skills, manage their day-to-day challenges, and grow personally and professionally. It takes place Monday, May 5 through Thursday, May 8 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle.
“This year’s ALA conference spotlights two areas in which we offer expertise, records management and document performance management,” said Elizabeth Halaki, chief marketing officer for Oce Business Services. “Results of our recent industry survey reveal that these two advanced document management practices provide high-value business benefits such as enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs.”
Executives at the Oce Business Services’ booth will be on hand to detail findings of the company’s recent survey that confirms the business benefits of efficient document management. Released April 9, the survey report, “A Premier Standard: How Organizations Can Elevate Business Performance through Advanced Document Process Management,” explores document imaging, records management, enterprise-wide print/copy, mail and shipping, automated print/mail workflows and legal discovery.
Among the key findings:
1. Document process management ineffectiveness. While 90 percent of
surveyed senior executives acknowledge that managing documents
throughout their lifecycle (creation through disposal) improves
business performance, only 12 percent rate their organization as
highly effective in this practice.
2. Value of imaging. Document imaging (paper to digital conversion) was
seen as having a high impact across the greatest range of top business
goals that include reducing costs, increasing competitive advantage,
enhancing regulatory compliance, and improving customer service.
3. Importance of measurement. A majority of survey participants indicated
that their organizations are measuring document process performance,
with the highest number of organizations measuring service level
performance followed by user satisfaction, user activity, and return
on investment. Survey respondents also specified that the key benefits
of measurement include enhanced efficiency and reduced cost of
document process activities.
