Gaining competitive advantage through intelligent document management solutions


Johannesburg, 15 Feb 2018

The prevailing conditions in which companies now operate are characterised by rapid changes in business environment, stiff competition and customers' high demands and expectations. Unstable conditions combined with globalisation trends require higher flexibility, efficiency in managing business processes and acceleration in decision-making in order to remain competitive. Competitive advantage is vital for customer satisfaction, which emanates from a higher value in delivered products and services.

To achieve competitive advantage, companies must have a systematic business document management strategy which will streamline business processes, shorten decision making, enable quicker delivery of products and services to customers and foster better collaboration with all stakeholders. The big winning point of such a strategy is the overall reduction in expenses, allowing businesses to compete more favourably.

KDS Direct helps its customers achieve competitive advantage by providing comprehensive document solutions which cover everything from business process optimisation, cost analysis and reduction, employee efficiency to data security.

Business process optimisation

KDS Direct's intelligent document solutions enable customers to automate their internal workflows and capture documents more efficiently. The use of process-oriented scanning to digitise and store documents, allows customers to make efficient use of their time by converting documents to standard file formats for easy access and archiving.

Cost analysis and reduction

Printing costs form a big chunk of business expenses. Unfortunately, most businesses do not know how much they actually spend on printing. KDS Direct's document solutions provide smart tools that make it possible to track and trace expenses for projects, individual devices or locations. Managers are equipped with the right information to draw up cost-effective proposals and optimise service, maintenance and materials costs.

Employee efficiency

Every company's most important asset is the employees. The success of the business depends largely on their level of performance, which in most cases, is dependent on information access. By simplifying the document handling processes and employing a standard approach to operation, KDS Direct has helped many SMEs to get the best out of their most valuable asset. The solution is easy to learn and use, which means less time and money on training. What's more, the mobile compatibility feature enables your employees to work from anywhere at any time.

Data security

Hacking and information theft is a constant menace to business survival. Keeping sensitive and confidential information private is a challenge most companies deal with on a daily basis. KDS Direct's document management solutions provide state of the art security mechanisms to help your business secure valuable information. This is achieved through encryption, authorisation and authentication, or a central directory service.

Today's business world is increasingly becoming more and more competitive. The "way we've always done it" is no longer good enough. To become competitive and remain there, it takes something out of the ordinary. Increasing efficiency and effectiveness are important factors needed to gain competitive advantage, but they cannot be achieved without intelligent document management solutions.

When we continue to rely on paper-based information systems, filing cabinets full of paper and obsolete business systems to provide information we need in order to achieve business goals, we hamper our ability to be compete well in the marketplace.
