Newton's First Law of "Business"?

Newton had it right. Outside forces change the direction of a business.
Companies that don't evaluate themselves internally until outside forces act upon the company are doomed.
If you were to just look at company investments, I use this a bit loosely, personnel, computers, and print/fax/scan machines, you have all of the components needed to increase productivity and accuracy. Most companies just don't know how, and are very caught up in the day-to-day that they can’t even see the need.
IT departments know how to fix and network computers, but they are not aware of the software available to help the company do their business better. Owners and CEOs evaluate the company and suggest cutting expenses. #1 being payroll, but that does not attack the issue of how to run the business better. Seems to me like they are doing business harder.
I have only seen a few progressive companies use their CIO and ask them to evaluate the business and have it run smarter. If the company does not have a CIO then the use of a consultant comes into play, and worth every penny.
There are plenty of helpful software products out there that help the business run smarter. A little time and financial investment and training here WILL affect the bottom line and may even effect their competitive advantage. Especially today when most companies are running their business harder. Their gaps in their business processes get larger and their company suffers. The writing for that company is on the wall.
Companies that are still using paper in any of their business processes are losing money to their bottom line daily.

Companies that are prepared for today and for the future WILL run their business smarter.
I have plenty of case studies and white papers if you need any references for any industry.

Technology is now very helpful and now affordable. OCR engines are more accurate and scanners are very user friendly. There are plenty of options out there for the home office to the enterprise wide solutions. Most good softwares are including or have a workflow module. Workflow is very useful.

To get techy SharePoint is not your silver bullet. It is a cog in the wheel, but a very good tool. ECM in another important cog as well.

If you want any other information, just send me an email and I'll it get it to you same day.
