In this exclusive article Jon Lincoln of OfficeScope shares seven ways of using document management software as a means to increase productivity and save money in the cloud.

While small businesses may not face the sheer volume of information as a typical enterprise, efficient document management is even more important because these companies do not have large staff members or the luxury of time to locate files if they are not readily available.

Additionally, most businesses reportedly misfile nearly 20 percent of all records, costing $14,000 in lost productivity per worker in the process of searching for core data. Companies of all sizes are adopting the “paperless office” to reduce costs. The right enterprise content management system can make the transition simple.
