Measurable Success
How do we know Xerox Document Advisor Services can make a significant difference for your business? We've put them to work successfully for many other organizations. Take a look at a few examples of the measurable performance results we've delivered:
Owens Corning, an innovator of glass fiber technologies, implemented a Document Advisor solution that increased its fulfillment success rate to 98%, trimmed document service operating costs, saved 30+ workers per year in man-hours and cut order cycle time from 30 days to two.
The University of Calgary, a leading Canadian educational institution, called on Document Advisor Services to manage – from creation to output – some 72 million documents produced annually. Savings from this and other initiatives are expected to run approximately $13.8 million (CAN) over seven years.
A major U.K. bank met their business objectives – containing costs, improving customer experience and driving revenue growth – and achieved savings of £4 million.
A leading U.K. life and pensions provider gained control of its documents across the business, resulting in quicker, higher-quality output that makes it easier for customers to do business with the firm. Xerox Global Services now creates, produces or manages 2.5 billion images each year for these customers.
Xerox delivered outstanding results by helping us eliminate waste in our document processes – so we turned to them again when new challenges emerged. Xerox is a true partner and trusted advisor to Owens Corning.
