The decline of Documents
Only a quick post, but the more I work with our clients, the less I see them using documents. Sounds silly doesn’t it?! But let me explain with an example.
Take an organisations ‘Contracts Register’. I would estimate that a great percentage of small/medium size organisations would have one, and most of these would use a product like Microsoft Excel to manage it.
And while using an Excel sheet is a great way to start, it does not scale at all, and will become down right frustrating as your business grows. So rather than a DOCUMENT, you use a SYSTEM. Claromentis has a module that does a much better job than any Excel sheet could ever do, while offering all the extra features such as been web based, permissions controlled, create easy reports, notifying users on expiry dates and much more!
So, as we see the rise of systems such as Claromentis, we will invariably see the decline of documents – which can only be a good thing!
Seems like every time we find clients relying on Excel spreadsheets we replace them!
