• Go Paperless! Free Survey & Cost Analysis (ongoing)
Did You Know? If too much paper in your office is
your concern, scanning and imaging may be the solution
for you! A typical organization of 1,000 people
wastes over $11 million per year through manual
document handling and management. Converting
paper files and records to electronic documents increases
productivity, improves business processes and
ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
Allstate Information Management is offering a Free
Survey and Cost Analysis—we’ll come in and perform
a cost benefit and quantitative analysis of your
document scanning application. Plus, at no charge we
are offering to scan and index your documents and
provide you with a test sample CD.
For more information, e-mail us at:
