• According to “Leading in Times of Transition: The 2010 CIO Agenda,” a report published by Gartner last January, document and data management and storage will be one of the top ten priorities of CIOs during this current fiscal cycle.

Atlanta, March 16, 2010 – Budget cuts have become a common practice for IT departments in recent years. But the need of companies to increase their productivity is now more voracious than ever, which has obligated systems supervisors to look for technologies that enable them to do more with less and that provide a quick return on investment.
Speeding up business processes, gaining a competitive advantage and saving on costs are three pillars on which CIOs will base their choice of any technology in 2010. This is the conclusion of the “Leading in Times of Transition: The 2010 CIO Agenda” report, published by Gartner, one of the leading information technology research and advisory companies, last January.
The report, which is the result of a survey of 1,600 system supervisors from 41 countries, illustrated what the top ten technology priorities of CIOs will be in 2010. Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Web 2.0 were the first three priorities. However, what is especially interesting is that document and data management and storage moved up to be the seventh priority.
Document management software, key of a business strategy in 2010
One of the major demands of executives has been to align technology goals with business goals, and according to the report, together with the need of saving costs and optimizing processes, are the other business priorities of improving customer loyalty and obtaining new users through personalized Marketing actions.
Document management software technology can provide fast and effective answers to these kinds of requirements. What must be taken into account is that documents continue to be the main vehicle of communication for businesses and in many cases their design can be critically important to a company´s corporate image.
Implementing a document management software solution that speeds up business processes, supports professional document design and automatically generates and distributes both print and electronic documents will greatly improve an organization’s image in front of its customers.
If to this we add tools that control the number of prints an organization produces and that incorporate personalized advertising in transactional documents such as invoices and receipts, we can get a good idea of how important document management software can be in these times of international financial crisis.
“The evolution that document management software has experienced in recent years has been spectacular. Now it’s very intuitive, economic, easy to implement and it provides a quick return of investment. That it was among the top priorities of CIO´s was only a matter of time and I bet that this trend will continue even further in the coming years,” said Julio Olivares, president and founder of DocPath
