- Cleaning up legacy document backlogs
Uncontrolled documents – often on shared drives and in mailboxes – do not have the value they should have for the organization. At worst, they even harm, such as if it is personally identifiable information that appears to float illegally around a drive. How do you take life to control the masses?
- Document conversion explained
Converting documents is just opening the file and printing it – not on paper, but in the desired file format.
