The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In information management roles, records clerks spend hours each week updating file logs in SharePoint, searching for missing documents in DocuWare, and manually tracking retention schedules in Excel. These repetitive tasks not only waste valuable time but also increase the risk of errors and compliance failures. Manual workflows make audits a headache and slow down every request from your team.

Time wasted

5-6 hours/week

Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.

Money lost

$12,000/year

In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.

If you keep ignoring it

Ignoring these bottlenecks leads to misfiled records, failed audits, and potential HIPAA or SOX compliance violations. Lost documents can mean missed deadlines, financial penalties, and damaged trust with internal teams.
