Save paper, streamline workflow

Companies should investigate technologies that can help better utilise the IT gear they already have, increase cost savings and productivity, and reduce their environmental impact concurrently, writes ZDNet.

One area that can easily and effectively cut costs is paper usage. Businesses are well positioned to take advantage of scanning technologies that can move paper into digital workflows. While the 'paperless office' may be a myth, eliminating paper from business processes is a definite reality that translates into tangible results.

Even with reduced budgets and limited resources, IT can take a leadership role in developing information management strategies that merge electronic processes and manual paper-based processes into one efficient workflow.

LogLogic, a log management company, has released the LogLogic Compliance Manager, a compliance workflow management solution powered by log management, according to Business Wire.

LogLogic Compliance Manager will enable enterprises to automate compliance processes associated with the mandated, periodic review of user or system activity, mitigate risk and avoid human error.

“We developed Compliance Manager to help customers who need a scalable mechanism for managing their log-related compliance processes efficiently and who need to prove, at a glance, their compliance with mandatory log review requirements,” said Sudha Iyer, director of product management at LogLogic.
