3 Steps to Easy Business Mail Management

published November 10, 2017, by Audrey

Have you ever stopped to think about the amount of mail and email your business generates, receives, scans, processes, sends, tracks, searches for and stores every day? It’s paper and electronic. It’s coming in, circulating around the office and going out. Every. Single. Minute. So how do you get control of your business mail management for good?

Business Mail Management vs. Document Management

You might have no document management process in place at all right now. Or, maybe you have an electronic document management application or process to basically scan and store your documents. The problem is there are far more communications channels today and just sticking a scanned mail into a file folder isn’t really a solution. What about non-paper mail? How do you secure it? How do you search it, share it and classify it?

The main challenge for business mail management is consolidating and managing communications and documents across multiple channels—from paper to email to web forms and phone calls. In fact, managing mail alone can be a full-time job.

Instead of adding another salary, why not invest in technology that can manage it all for you at a fraction of the cost? An Electronic Content Management (ECM) solution goes beyond the digitization of paper documents and enables your business to capture, certify, classify and control the entire lifecycle of every communication—incoming, internal, outgoing—across all employees and channels.
