The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In government records offices and corporate mailrooms, correspondence clerks are buried under a flood of emails, scanned letters, and internal memos. Manually reviewing each item, summarizing concerns, and deciding who should handle what means toggling between Outlook, SharePoint, and spreadsheets for hours. This repetitive work leads to overlooked urgent issues, slow response times, and mounting stress for staff.
