Slideshare outlining stats and benefits behind SharePoint 2010 implementation

1. 2010

2. The situation
Information location by employees is a major
time consumer for businesses
Most users store their documents in folders
on their hard disk or on the company
network
Therefore, searching for a document created
by someone else can take a significant
amount of time

3. More Problems
Collaboration is also made difficult with
this method of storing files – Documents
must be constantly forwarded
Unstructured workflow processes take
place in organisations every day i.e.
annual leave applications, expense
submissions

4. Research shows
Together, the Fortune 500
companies lose an average of
$12bn (€9bn) per year to inefficient
document management structure
(Gartner, U.S.)
Knowledge workers spend more than
25% of their time searching for
information (IDC/Accenture)

5. Research shows
This amounts to $4,800 (€3,500) worth
of their time annually just searching for
documents (Gartner, U.S.)
When looking for documents, 71% of
employees trawl the corporate
network, 60% send an email / IM requesting
to have it sent and 35% call someone
(Recommind)

6. What to do
With the right document management platform all
documents and digital assets are stored in shared
depositories and are extremely easy to find
Structured workflows can be automated by
SharePoint and normally prove to be a
godsend in terms of freeing up employee time
Employees can collaborate easily on documents
without having to email multiple versions back
and forth

7. What to choose
SharePoint 2010 is the ultimate
document management, search and
collaboration platform
It’s unique meta-tagging system makes
categorising and finding information easy
Collaboration sites can be created within
the platform providing teams an area to
share information freely and easily
The workflows allow everyday tasks such as
expense claims and annual leave requests
to be automated, freeing up employee time
