Organizations receive a daily influx of paper documents such as invoices, applications, claim forms and other supporting documentation that must be reviewed, processed and preserved. Manually managing the flow of these documents causes delays and processing errors that inevitably increase costs, impact customer response, reduce efficiency and threaten compliance.
Join Paragon Solutions and EMC to learn how using Intelligent Document Capture as a means to drive data and documents quickly into processes can dramatically reduce manual preparation, data entry and cycle time. We’ll also share our Business Case Approach to demonstrate how Paragon helped an organization that processes 600,000 forms annually implement document capture to electronically distribute, search and store information, reducing processing time by 38 percent and cutting costs by 30 percent.
