Your documents perfectly managed...
...it’s what we call DOCutivityTM






DOCutivityTM is Lanier’s way of managing your workplace documents through their entire lifecycle. We can show you how to easily lower the cost of your documents through each phase, including: Creation, Replication, Distribution and Retention. DOCutivityTM is focussed on improving productivity and efficiency by analysing your requirements and processes, then delivering solutions to provide you with a lower Total Cost of Ownership, better Return on Investment and Reduced Costs. Documentation is a pivotal part of every business. It’s interesting to know that:
  • 90% of business communication is still done using paper, even in the internet/email age
  • the average employee spends 70% of their time shuffling paper
  • document handling consumes 20-45% of labour costs
  • documents claim between 5% and 15% of company revenue
Do you know how many output devices are on and off your network? What about usage patterns, total output volume, and per page cost for each device? Can you easily perform accurate charge backs to internal departments or clients? No wonder documents have been called the last great un-audited corporate expense. These costs escape scrutiny because they’re often difficult to capture or hidden entirely, not because they’re insignificant. (In fact, estimates of total document management costs range from 1% to as much as 10% of revenues, depending on your industry).

Many organisations simply lack reliable enterprise-wide methods of measuring document-related assets, activities, processes, and the actual costs they generate. Even when costs are in plain sight, the underlying causes may not be. Some costs are buried in system downtime, IT support, and inefficient deployment of printers and other assets. When hundreds of input, storage, and output devices are being used by thousands of workers, it can be very difficult to extract, consolidate, and interpret useful data.

Lanier’s DOCutivity E-assessment process uncovers hidden costs and opportunities for improvement, based on your enterprise goals, current IT infrastructure, and specific business process requirements.

DOCutivity will recommend a solution that leads will:
  • dramatically reduced total cost of ownership
  • improved quality and streamlined processes
  • increased productivity of assets and people
Your DOCutivityTM analysis provides a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) evaluation based on your enterprise goals, current IT infrastructure, and specific business process requirements. This evaluation can be scaled to many different sizes and types of organisations. The most comprehensive type of analysis we perform is Enterprise DOCutivityTM, which is a specialised assessment and implementation process specifically created for larger installations, and t’s entirely outcome-focused.
