the LESSpaper Office & IT systems for the 21 st Century GMS – Digital Vision Bob Goodwin Ian Hopkins David Gavin
White Collar Holocaust ‘ living with inefficiency’
Tom Peters says -
“ Unless you realise that white-collar jobs are going the same way as those people who used to load ships, you’ll be replaced by a chip”!
Dennis says...
"We believe that the era of direct cost compression is coming to an end and the prolonged period of “white-collar” productivity improvement is the way forward for all major enterprises.“
Dennis Wright MD of GMS
… and who needs Tom Peters?
Rate of change
Moores law and the awesome power ahead
“ in 25 years the sum of all human knowledge will fit on a personal device” (G Blonder)
Is IT under control?
Do we harness what we have now properly?
NO!
Reality Check
too many people in indirect processes - the UK business disorder?
people use email to ‘spray’ files round networks
people drop files into the nearest convenient save-point
Networked PCs have created new problems that few recognise they need to deal with
data anarchy and entropy
Symptoms
in state of change or conversely, administrative inertia
can’t find information while customer is on the phone
bogged down with paper
indirect overhead is too high
have no controls or KPI's for indirect function
employ people and don't know what they do all day
trivial tasks take too much useful time
critical tasks are high cost and take too long
not sure document versions are correct
people swamped by sheer volume of information
low conversion rate for new business quotes
rework, claims and complaints are too high and getting higher
increasing regulatory compliance pressures
too many credit notes

Some argue that the paperless office is unachievabl more
Some argue that the paperless office is unachievable – “the technology has made it possible, but human nature prevents it.”
Organisations have spent a fortune on mainframes and servers and everybody has a networked PC yet we still have more paper than ever! WHY?
Data is stored on many different media and platforms (databases, application software, etc.). Organisations need to control the creation and distribution of information and documents, streamlining business processes along the way. This information needs to be completely traceable (who did what, when, etc). Implementing this philosophy yields tremendous financial and productivity benefits.
There are major benefits to be derived from converting and storing paper based documents into electronic formats. If done well, scanning processes produce major cost savings and make the archiving and retrieval process far easier to manage.
MERIT in association with UK-Online, have invited Bob Goodwin – Chairman GMS Ltd – to come and present an overview as to how organisations can benefit from document management technologies.
This presentation will show how you can apply: imaging/scanning systems, document and knowledge management, and enterprise information portals to your structured and unstructured information systems and show examples of implementations that have yielded significant productivity and efficiency gains. less
