Although the business potential of document management is becoming increasingly apparent, it is not a priority for managers. Something Ways sees will change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Digitalisation has made most companies aware that innovative IT services drive business. Yet many miss the profitability aspect of smart document management.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to a recent YouGov* survey commissioned by Ways, one in four managers say that document management is not a priority. And 2 out of 3 managers say they have a low interest in document management.<\/p>\n\n<p>One possible factor behind this lack of interest could be the lack of knowledge about how much working time each employee loses each day looking for the right document. 35% of managers believe that employees spend 0-10 minutes a day on this. At the same time, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/technology-media-and-telecommunications\/our-insights\/the-social-economy\" target=\"_blank\">studies by IDC and McKinsey Global Institute, among others<\/a>, show that an employee spends about 1 hour a day searching for the right document.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; At an extremely low level, smart document management generates an extra quarter of working time per employee per day. For an organisation with a hundred employees, this means five thousand working hours a year. Our assessment is that no one can afford to ignore the business potential of today&#8217;s pure document management solutions,&#8221; says Per Rolder, CEO of Ways.<\/p>\n\n<p>As the inventors of MetaShare, pioneering document management in Office 365, Ways sees a responsibility in educating on the profitability aspects and how easy it is to get started in a system that makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n<p>*The survey on managers&#8217; views on document management was conducted by YouGov on 4-8 November 2021 among 500 managers in Swedish companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey by YouGov shows that managers misjudge the amount of working time that is wasted because employees can&#8217;t find the right documents in their folders. 35% think they spend 0-10 minutes a day &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"No manager can afford to miss out on the business benefits of document management\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/articles\/no-manager-can-afford-to-miss-out-on-the-business-benefits-of-document-management\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about No manager can afford to miss out on the business benefits of document management\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":14486,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14446,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14445\/revisions\/14446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ways.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
