In addition to introducing new efficiencies into the business, the deployment of PaperPort meant that the company could reduce the amount of hardcopy files that it stored in its office by 95%. Many of the files were almost four inches thick, and took up valuable office space. This space has now been freed up to accommodate more fee earners, whose appointment will play a key role ensuring that the company reaches its growth target for 2008.
Since deploying the workflow solution, paper documents have been all but abolished in the office, and are now limited to just three essential documents. A defining moment that symbolised the efficiency of the new process was the physical disposal of the company’s filing cabinets.
As well as liberating more office space – which negating a costly move to larger premises – the use of PaperPort has increased the efficiency of Oaklands’ staff. Less time is spent filing or retrieving documents, while speedier document retrieval has also improved customer service over the phone; less time is needed to locate documents so customer queries can be answered and resolved more quickly. Critically, the new system provides Oaklands’ staff with complete at-a-glance visibility of all of a client’s documents.
Commenting on Oaklands’ use of PaperPort, Helen Blackburn said: “Our entire growth plans are underpinned by PaperPort. In conjunction with our workflow process, PaperPort has revolutionised the way that we work, bringing cost savings through better utilisation of office space, increased productivity and customer service levels.”
Robert Weideman, Senior Vice President of EMEA Marketing at Nuance added: “During these uncertain economic times, companies must strive to drive optimal asset utilisation, and increase customer service. Oaklands is an excellent example of a company that has achieved this, by adopting an intelligent workflow solution to its document management and storage needs.”
