Document management services such as photocopying, printing and reprographics are a logical extension of the facilities management concept. To manage these services effectively an organisation has to maintain expertise and technology in specialist areas where the pace of change shows no sign of abating. Information is arguably an organisation’s most valuable asset and typically, over 90% of this asset is held in documents. Several independent studies have shown that documents can consume up to 15% of gross revenue and therefore it is essential for an organisation to have a clear document management strategy if it is to maintain it’s competitive advantage.

A document management strategy should go far beyond equipment specifications and procurement policies. Document management should encompass the complete lifecycle of an organisation’s main documentation processes, from creation, to production and distribution, to archive storage and document destruction. Increasingly, we are managing documents in both electronic and paper-based formats and this challenges traditional document management methodologies. To develop an effective strategy that is aligned with the requirements of the organisation, we need to understand how documents interact with and drive core business processes and measure the effectiveness of the current approach.
