The document discusses document process outsourcing (DPO) and analyzes survey results on organizations' use of DPO. Key findings include:
- Cost savings and allowing a focus on core business activities are the top drivers for DPO use. Space savings is an overlooked benefit.
- Outbound printing and mailing are commonly outsourced processes, and mailroom distribution is another potential area.
- Security and compliance concerns are the top barriers, though risks may be overstated without full analysis. Insufficient volumes is also cited despite potential for consolidation.
- When renewing contracts, service level performance and delivered value are most important, rather than supporting new technologies.
