Small City Budget Crunch

Posted on May 4, 2012 by admin

The City of Dayton was hit this year with decreased budgets like many small cities. They had to decrease their staffing and try to maintain the same quality of service. One thing that would really help would be to purchase Laserfiche WebLink so that they didn’t have to manually post agendas and minutes to their website and handle the phone calls from the public for information.

We worked with the City to eliminate these problems. Solution, upgrade them to Laserfiche Avante and use Laserfiche WebAccess for public and city board access to documents. This is a great way for them to cope with the budget crunch until they can affort WebLink. Hear that Erin for the City of Dayton has to say:

Going Paper-Less in a Paper-Mess Envirovment, Minneapolis Minnesota

Posted on April 24, 2012 by admin

If you are like most of us, we don’t take the time in our busy workplace to consider how our daily habits can affect our office environment. If you look around what do you see? An abundance of paper. Desks are over cluttered with paper and files, storage rooms are filled with row after row of filing cabinets and boxes of old files, shelves get filled with binders of corporate memos and instructional manuals. To say the least, it becomes overwhelming to deal with all of paper documents we come in contact with on a daily basis. What is the answer?

There is technology will give us a more streamlined working environment, free of paper-mess and wasted productivity. Implementing a paperless office has become a huge trend in the “Going Green”.

We have had huge success helping our clients overcome this paper-mess using Laserfiche document management software. Once implemented in the office we see the paper-mess dissaper and neat orderly enviroment starts to peak out. In addition, organizations see Laserfiche streamline their productivity and bring their document management into the modern age using. Laserfiche Document management software has helped these organizations work towards their goal of getting rid of the paper-mess and going more paper-less. You see I said paper-less not no paper. Just less paper. Some people get confused thinking that paper-less means no paper at all. This would highly slow down the progress, because people revert to their old ways if the path to paper-less is too steep.

If you would like more information on how to begin the process of going paper-less, look at this video.

Is Cloud Computing Just Marketing Hype? Minneapolis, Minnesota

Posted on April 24, 2012 by admin

cloud computing minneapolis minnesotaYou probably are reading a lot about cloud computing and you are sketpical. I don’t blame you. I don’t belive 100% of what I read or what industry experts are predicting. And I don’t think you should. There has been lots of research in this area. And although it is not alway 100% correct, it does often give us a feel for how others are feeling and planning to do on a particular subject.

Research info:
•60 percent of organizations are ready to embrace cloud computing over the next five years as a means of growing their businesses and achieving competitive advantage. The figure nearly doubles the number of CIOs who said they would utilize cloud in the previous 2009 study (IBM Survey of 3,000 global CIOs).
•The total size of the public cloud market will grow from $25.5 billion in 2011 to $159.3 billion in 2020. The market for virtual private cloud solutions will grow from $7.5 billion in 2011 to $66.4 billion in 2020. The market for private cloud solutions will grow from $7.8 billion in 2011 to $15.9 billion in 2020 (Forrester, Sizing the Cloud).
•Cloud computing spending among SMEs (1-1,000 employees) will double between 2010 and 2015 from $6.3 billion to $13.3 billion (In-Stat, http://www.instat.com)

The data suggests that organizations are having a difficult time making the transition.
•33% of organizations have a generic IT strategy for moving to the cloud. 12% do not, and 55% are still undecided. (Process Revolution: Moving Your Business from Paper to PC to Tablet)
•28 percent of US organizations currently using cloud computing. [CDW Cloud Computing Tracking Poll]
•1/3 of organizations still unlikely to use cloud-based or SaaS solutions. [AIIM – State of the ECM Industry]
