Doing Your Homework

DocuWare document management can do a whole lot of good for your business, from streamlining workflows to strengthening communication to improving security--but the truth is that all of these things take just a little bit of help from you. In order to get the most out of your DocuWare solutions, you'll need to do your homework on a few best practices.

Here are a few tips to get you started!

• #1: Set goals.

It's simple but sound advice: take the time to understand what you want your work-life to look like with help from document management. DocuWare can help you get there--but you have to know where you're going first!

• #2: Prioritize.

Some document management tasks are more critical than others. To get the most out of your DocuWare solutions, prioritize your needs based on what works best for your teams, your projects, and your clients.

• #3: Keep user experience in mind.

Remember that DocuWare isn't designed for faceless, soulless workflows; its primary goal is to help your people achieve their goals, do their best work, and benefit your business. Whatever you do, do it with user experience in mind.

• #4: Take it one step at a time.

Don't let document management become a chore. Instead, take things one step at a time--for example, choosing one solution to research and implement thoroughly before jumping into another. That way, you'll be more confident in every choice you make--and you won't end up inadvertently causing stress, downtime, or frustration.
