Hi,

 

I was RAINing this morning (although it is really snowing in VT) and
clicked through the following article: 

 

MOVING towards a paperless world

IT AsiaOne - Singapore,Singapore
...<http://it.asia1.com.sg/newsdaily/news001_20050323.html>"

 

 

In the article it refers to a PWC study:

 

"A PricewaterhouseCoopers study found that in an average organisation,
19 copies of each document are made. The organisation will also spend
US$20 on labour costs to file each document. If the document is
mis-filed, it will cost another US$120 in labour costs to search for the
misfiled document. The study also found that one out of every 20
documents is lost. This in turn leads to an additional 25 hours to
recreate the document. Overall, an average of 400 hours per year are
spent searching for lost files."

 

 

Questions to the group:

Is this the mysterious PWC report of legend? Or is this something new?

 

Thanks,

- Chuck Piotrowski
