The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In government agencies and municipal offices, records officers and clerks waste 2 hours a week searching for documents in SharePoint, updating request logs in Excel, and drafting responses in Word. The manual process of tracking requests and ensuring compliance with FOIA or state regulations leads to costly errors and delays. Every new request means repeating the same steps, risking missed deadlines and public complaints.

If you keep ignoring it
