Latest document software saves industry time and money
Document Software specialist Sefas Innovation has unveiled its latest software solution, which it claims could help companies get on the fast track towards an upturn by saving them vast amounts of time and money on their document production.
Called Open Print BackOffice, the package aims to make the process of editing existing transactional documentation simpler by allowing companies to manage the work in-house.
Giles Hill, UK Managing Director of Sefas Innovation, explains: “Historically, even the simplest of amendments to such data-heavy documentation have cost companies huge amounts of third party fees, IT support and administrational man-hours.
“BackOffice is a unique solution which enables companies to implement changes to existing documentation quickly, with minimal programming skills, so in-house staff will no longer need to rely on the intervention of external IT partners.”
According to Sefas, Back Office has the potential to save the average, mid-sized general insurance company as much as £2.25m* on their annual document production costs.
Giles comments: “BackOffice stands to save clients substantial sums of money and talks with a leading print business to use the software in a major new project are already well advanced.
“The BackOffice interface is really easy to navigate, so it doesn’t require high level programming skills for staff to use. This means Operations departments can use it themselves to expand service capabilities, enhance the application of documents by adding TransPromo messages, or simply make global changes in a fraction of the time and cost,” he said.
“This is going to be really invaluable for operations teams looking for greater self-sufficiency and better overall productivity; two things which count a great deal in the current climate,” Giles adds.
Open Print BackOffice is capable of processing multiple programming languages, ironing out potential incompatibilities by converting each language into a common, universal format. The software has been developed as a next generation product from Sefas’ already successful ‘Remake’ software and features all the functionality of Remake, with the added benefit of being able to share documents from Sefas’ document composition software, which gives its users the ability to develop new documents, as well as being able to edit existing documents.
Giles continues: “Economic conditions demand that operations teams be more agile and do more with less. BackOffice has been designed with that in mind. It will particularly appeal B2C businesses from banks to utilities providers, seeking to improve production efficiency, allowing them to become self-sufficient when making simple changes to production output.”
