By now, you've probably heard a thing or two about document management and the ever-popular print assessment. However, no matter how much research you do, it's not always easy to find out whether you actually need a print assessment. That's why we're here to help you find out!
A Word on Document Management
A high-quality print assessment is just the first step in implementing document management, which is where the real magic happens. Document management takes what you learn in the print assessment and helps you apply it in your day-to-day workflows, which means that you can track your progress, notice big and small changes, and implement new solutions if old ones aren't working. There's so much you can achieve when you take control of your documents and your print environment--but in order to do that, you've got to take the first step.
Evaluating the need for print assessment
So, do you need a print assessment? Here are a few big signs that the answer is yes!
You don't know your habits.
It can be difficult to become self-aware, especially when discussing entire teams or departments. However, if you aren't tracking device usage and learning about your own habits, you're missing out on opportunities to improve. A print assessment can help you understand what's going on in your workflows minute-by-minute.
You have stacks and stacks of paper.
Let's be honest: stacks of paper aren't efficient in any way. They're irritating, difficult to search through, and definitely not secure--but it takes a lot of work to get rid of them, too. Print assessments help you identify where the workflow breakdowns happen ("why isn't this paperwork being filed or scanned?") and fix them quickly and efficiently.
Your tech is out-of-date.
Sure, older technology still works fine--but sometimes, "fine" isn't enough. A print assessment will tell you whether your old machines and software are sufficient or if you're missing out on opportunities for efficiency, productivity, and cost savings by holding on to the past.
