The Solution The need to comply with corporate standards, leveraging the already existing application, and ensuring ease of operation and information security were discovered as the main technical challenges. To meet these requirements and due to Kellogg’s previous relationship and confidence in RICOH, Kellogg’s decided to solve these issues with DocuClass Workflow for the following reasons: affordability, ease of use, functional abilities, scalability options, and its flexibility in configuration. The process of implementing the solution with DocuClass Workflow, complemented by the technology platform of RICOH’s multifunctional devices was a simple step and proved easy to learn and to adopt. With a coordinated effort, the implementation process was established, the system configured, and the entire solution was deployed in a simple and flexible manner. Benefits The issues associated with the administrative process associated with Accounts Payable was simplified, automated, and standardized. Not only were the previous printing costs of $50,000+ annually reduced substantially by implementing DocuClass, but also resulted in increased security, issues with suppliers as well as tax-related matters were resolved faster or avoided altogether. DocuClass Workflow offers great flexibility, demonstrated by adjusting to Kellogg’s Accounts Payable process; this benefit will allow Kellogg’s to expand their DocuClass application into other departments and assist in streamlining other business processes. Furthermore, the security configuration, user access and permission profiles allow the company to guarantee the required security and confidentiality of their documents. Summarizing in a one simple sentence, "we achieved the benefits we had defined during the evaluation of the product. The results were specific, and we accomplished what we expected through DocuClass and Ricoh . |
