AFA Insurance handles 80% of claims automatically.  Switching from traditional mailroom processes to Digital Mailroom has transformed the way they do business.

Maria Welin-Persson, Deputy Director-General of AFA in Sweden said “Our efficiency has increased by 75% as a result of Digital Mailroom.”

• Organisations are recognising that traditional mailroom processes are slow, inefficient manual processes dominated by piles of paper.
• They can ‘go digital’ and save costs, improve services and speed up processes using the foundations of their existing IT infrastructure.

AFA Insurance presented their case study on Digital Mailroom at a recent Channel Partner Event hosted by Avanquest Solutions, ReadSoft, Stortext, IBML and Kodak.

• The partners have complimentary areas of expertise, that when put together, provide the key components for an end-to-end digital mailroom solution.
• By working together, they can extend the life expectancy and add functionality to an organisations’ existing IT investment.
• ‘It is more cost effective to extend rather than rebuild.’

Just as conventional paper mailrooms provide the mechanisms to capture, prioritise, route and deliver incoming and outgoing paper mail, the digital mailroom is a set of functions that can perform and guarantee an expanded set of ‘electronic’ services that will provide enhanced service levels for email, fax, web pages and text messages, as well as paper communications.

Crucially, digital mailrooms enable significantly greater speed and flexibility in business processes and security. They present every line manager and their operational staff with the opportunity to save money and unlock the value of their IT systems to benefit their customers and internal processes.

Attendees were all on the same mission – to find out about Digital Mailroom and how it can save costs, improve services and speed up processes.  They left thinking “We need to make this happen in our organisation.”

Guest speaker, Rory Staunton, who heads the content management research team at Strategy Partners, delivered an excellent introduction to Digital Mailroom and inspired the audience.

Rory said, “Digital mailrooms have emerged from the coincidence of the Internet, faster and distributed scanning, state of the art recognition and automatic indexing software.  These have combined with outsourced services, email, archiving, call centres, ERP, email and knowledge worker systems to create a new generation of digital mailrooms.”

“Digital mailrooms are not a luxury or a single project.  They are a journey towards the removal of the “grunt element” of business communications.  They are the key to unlocking the next level of value.”

Rory has written a white paper on Digital Mailrooms.  Anyone who would like a copy – which outlines the drivers for Digital Mailrooms, the practicalities, the benefits and options, plus how to make Digital Mailroom a reality in your organisation – can request it from from Avanquest.
