Join guest speaker Ryan Duguid, Senior Product Manager - Enterprise Content Management (ECM) for Microsoft, as he discusses using SharePoint 2010 as your ECM platform.
Empowering users is what sets SharePoint apart from other ECM platforms. Its ease of use and tight integration with existing Microsoft toolset's like Windows and Office provides a low barrier to entry that can engage users to participate in ECM. SharePoint 2010 will put the end user front and center.
Ryan Duguid discusses how SharePoint is reinvigorating the ECM business and getting people to rethink their information management strategies. View this webinar to hear about the great new ECM capabilities in SharePoint 2010 and to gain an understanding of the trends in the industry and Microsoft's vision for content management.

Who would imagine that removing paper from the workplace would be more challenging than putting a man on the moon? That is the unfortunate reality in corporate financial processes that have historically been mired in labor and paper intensive process. According to IOMA, it costs the average company more than $12 to process a single invoice.
Accounts Payable departments are making great strides in automating their operations by leveraging Microsoft software already available in your organization. According to IOMA, world-class Accounts Payable departments can process upwards of 80,000 invoices per person per year. This efficiency translates into a cost savings of more than $3 per invoice.
These cost savings are derived from many factors including:
-
Lowered transaction processing costs
- Improved payment accuracy
- Improved capture of payment discounts
- Streamlined audit and compliance processes
- Reduce IT infrastructure costs
- Eliminated or reduced storage costs
By utilizing Microsoft software that you already own, KnowledgeLake can help your Accounts Payable department achieve these efficiencies and cost-savings. We have helped hundreds of companies realize a full ROI in as little as 90 days.
"We now receive invoice approvals within hours of our initial request, rather than weeks, costs have dramatically decreased and we are able to process more invoices with less people," says Larry Bryant, AP Team Leader, Amdocs.
The topic of scalability seems to often be a question when an organization is considering using SharePoint for a Document Imaging solution. Why is this a concern? And what can an organization do to eliminate this concern?
Most IT professionals know that poor database architecture can absolutely wreck the performance of an application. This is true for the logical design of a system but also of the physical storage implementation for a system. The storage architecture for SharePoint is certainly the key to enable SharePoint to be scalable.
Watch this presentation and learn about the architectural planning steps to implement SharePoint as a Document Imaging solution. This presentation will provide guidance targeted at the storage subsystem for a highly scalable SharePoint implementation. We will also discuss the reasons behind the recommended limits for SharePoint databases, techniques for monitoring scalability metrics and how to modify storage architecture to prevent poor performance. Are you using an outdated Legacy ECM repository? Learn how to center your business around SharePoint for a LOW COST effective option by migrating content from legacy ECM to a centralized SharePoint infrastructure. KnowledgeLake's Migration solution provides planning and analysis that address business as well as technical issues, including the costs associated with migration.
Consider the following questions:
-
How much are you paying in annual legacy ECM maintenance fees?
- Are you paying maintenance for system that only a small percentage of the licenses are being use?
- Did you know that a company could purchase KnowledgeLake and SharePoint and migrate for less than the costs of the legacy annual maintenance?
- Does your current Legacy ECM system need to be upgraded?
- Is this really a migration in disguise?
- Do you have the necessary resources to effectively plan migration and validation efforts for all your Legacy ECM content?
Recorded webinar on Digital signatures and how companies are taking advantage of this powerful, cost saving and process improving technology.
Organizations invest millions each year in electronically automating their document based operations and business processes. Despite this, hard copy paper is still printed when a signature authorization is required on a document, requiring time consuming and expensive physical routing for signatures. This reintroduction of paper into the process prohibits an organization from realizing the true benefits of a fully electronic workflow.
Combine KnowledgeLake SharePoint document imaging, the conversion of existing paper to digital formats, and ARX CoSign® digital signatures and your paper based approval processes can be improved dramatically. Digital signatures on electronic documents enable signature-based approval processes to remain paperless while complying with regulations, expediting processes, and cutting costs.
During this presentation you will learn:
- How to eliminate paper based processes by applying standard digital signatures to electronic content, documents, or forms
- How digital signature can deliver up to $3,000 in savings for each employee user per year
- How digital signature can reduce approval cycle times from days to minutes while enhancing compliance

As companies look to reduce costs, improve processes, and leverage ECM assets like SharePoint, imaging solutions can provide quick wins and deliver significant ROI. Using imaging to improve paper-based processes in one department can expand across the enterprise to drive even greater ROI by improving productivity, easing compliance, and reducing paper and associated costs for storage, distribution, and delivery.
This presentation features Forrester Analyst Sheri McLeish discussing the costs and benefits of imaging investments and how organizations have been able to gain additional flexibility as a result.
The following topics are discussed:
-
The Return on Investment for Imaging solutions
- What is Document Imaging
-
Extending ECM Investments With Imaging
- Understanding the benefits, costs and risks of imaging
- Case Studies: SharePoint, Industry and Process Success Stories
- Recommendations
