Process Improvement

One way your customers can make an immediate and measurable impact on processes is through effective document management. This is because many business processes are based on the exchange of documents: plans, reports, invoices, purchase orders, receipts and others. In fact, the term “workflow” often describes how paper and electronic documents move through an organization.

Process improvement is a systematic approach to examining, analyzing and redesigning any document-related business process: how orders are filled, how invoices are generated, how new products are designed. Typically, an analysis of workflow helps identify areas where changes to the structure of a process can introduce efficiency. These improvements are made, and the results are further analyzed. The ultimate goal is to make each process as efficient as possible.

TGI provides comprehensive solutions that will help you make your document-related processes more efficient and effective. Combine this with TGI’s experience and knowledgeable people to build a tailored, turnkey solution.

Solutions in the TGI portfolio improve business processes three ways:

1. Bridge the gap between paper and electronic workflows. Complexity and inefficiency frequently occur where paper and electronic documents converge. One way TGI solutions promote process improvement is by smoothing transitions between these two worlds. Examples include various “scan to” technologies, as well as software that scans paper documents directly into enterprise content management (ECM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications.

2. Enhance enterprise collaboration. In large organizations, document reviews can be a logistical ordeal due to the number of stakeholders involved, the limitations of distributing paper files, and the related challenges of version control. To solve this problem, TGI offers Web-based document sharing tools (via DocumentMall) to accelerate document exchange and review.

3. Ensure ease of use. No document management solution is of any value if it is difficult to operate. For this reason, TGI's hardware and software products feature clear, intuitive, easy-to-read interfaces. This helps users of all experience levels find exactly what they need as quickly as possible.

Many business processes involve documents. Effective document management can affect productivity, customer service, profitability and revenue. Improving document management has a direct impact on business process efficiency. It can be directly correlated to above-average profit growth and faster response time to changing market conditions.
