Measuring the ROI for a SharePoint Document Imaging Solution
We previously discussed the benefits of using SharePoint as a single platform solution for managing enterprise-wide content, including ROI. On-ramping paper documents into SharePoint will undoubtedly extend your ECM investment past simple collaboration and intranet portals. This will provide a remarkably quick Return on Investment (ROI.) Although there are various reasons for considering a document imaging and capture strategy, four drivers are observed in the majority of situations:
- Reduction of paper and cost
- Improve business process workflow
- Ease of implementation to enable the digitization of paper
- Maximizing the investment of Microsoft SharePoint
SharePoint: A Single Platform Solution for all Content
The benefits of implementing a document imaging and capture solution are simple and straightforward.
- Lower cost of ownership by leveraging your existing investment in SharePoint and other Microsoft applications
- Higher (and rapid) return on investment
- Immediate retrieval of mission critical documents
- Reduced need for on-site storage space
- Improved Customer Service and internal operation efficiency
- Enhanced compliance with various regulations and agencies
- Faster user adoption that results from the intuitive SharePoint interface and familiar Microsoft applications
Extend your ECM Investment through Paper Reduction
SharePoint is probably already implemented, to some extent, in your organization with people using it for collaboration of electronic content. Let’s take a different approach and look exclusively at paper documents. Most organizations still struggle with the storage of paper documents and are spending a surprising amount of money to file, locate, copy, mail and reproduce them. Handling paper is time consuming and expensive. Part of the challenge is that SharePoint does not provide an out-of-the-box mechanism to get paper documents into SharePoint.

Chapter Excerpts on SharePoint 2010 Scalability & Records Management
We recently sponsored a book signing at the 2011 SharePoint conference in Anaheim, with the four authors of SharePoint Server 2010: Enterprise Content Management. This is the latest book from Wrox Publishing that focuses on SharePoint 2010 as a platform for Enterprise Content Management. The book is co-authored by Todd Kitta, Brett Grego, Chris Caplinger and Russ Houberg; all of whom currently hold a key role at KnowledgeLake. You can read more about the authors here.
If you follow KnowledgeLake on Twitter or Facebook – you already have access to two complete chapters from the book. If you don’t… your loss.
