Forrester Best Practices: Outsource Printing To Specialists - June 2006
Outsourcing Printing Services To Desktop Outsourcers Looks Totally Inefficient

Companies increasingly wish to include printing services in outsourcing contracts, especially when they buy desktop management services. Apart from HP Services, most service providers cannot deliver satisfying printing services and don’t seem to possess specific skills for this.

IDC Management Brief: For the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) "The CMO and the Document: Increase Accountability, Reduce Inefficiency, Keep Creativity" - October 2005
Many CMOs are being driven in an uncomfortable direction — towards a role of collecting and communicating customer statistics and dynamics, spending more time on rating the effectiveness of their marketing efforts rather than on the marketing itself. It is vital that marketers are accountable, but these changes demote the importance of the creative aspect of the marketing function and increase the administrative portion. The need for accountability is dulling the creative edge. With this difficult tightrope to tread between creativity and accountability, what role do documents play in the CMO's brief? And do current document processes help?

Expediting the Resolution of Disputes and Exceptions: Plugging a Hidden Profit Drain - April 2004
A large percentage of aged receivables are caused by disputes and discrepancies. In order to resolve these disputes, AR staff often require information not readily available through ERP systems. The delay in accessing the necessary information has a large, and often hidden, impact on your bottom line: a) higher DSO; b) higher deductions/write-offs; and c) customer satisfaction issues. The issues related to dispute management are costing the average Fortune 1000 company millions of dollars each year.

However, there are now practical ways to give collection managers desktop access to all the information they need to resolve disputes quickly. The underlying solutions are tightly integrated with existing IT infrastructure and do not impose significant change for AR staff.

The result? A better dispute management process delivers lower DSO, fewer deductions and write-offs, and ultimately higher customer satisfaction. It adds up quickly when this profit drain is plugged.
