Common sense is when you spend what it takes
- and no more
The global financial crisis has made the future of many organizations more complicated and challenging. Money is suddenly a scares resource, and old virtues like “cost consciousness”, and “earning before spending” are honored once again.
In some sense this is a healthy change, even if most of us would have preferred a lesson less drastic and less devastating.
What exactly is the right course for your organization to ride the storm depends on many factors, and this was the theme of the most recent 25/7 Magazine.
But no matter what situation you are in, it is common sense to evaluate your operational efficiency, in order to make sure that you are competitive. And it is common sense to make those investments that ensure that you stay that way.
How we fit in
It is evident how moving from manual and paper based to electronic business processes will reduce your need of paper, printers, and storage room, and hence also reduce your operational costs marginally. This cost reduction is however only a very small part of the total cost effect.
New and optimized business processes based on a centralized electronic business archive, and structured workflow processes, will optimize your business efficiency, and reduce your staffing costs dramatically.

“In fact, the time saved allows us to manage with one purchase ledger clerk instead of two”, points out Mike Westbury, Financial Director of E.P. Barrus.
At the same time they increased their operational efficiency and organizational flexibility.
A typical example on an investment in a 25/7 solution helps you save money big time.
