Can anyone help with reference or source? There are oft-repeated statistics
useful to illustrate the ROI or cost-savings resulting from effective records &
information management in the ordinary course of business.
Here are some of those statistics, often attributed to "research" from the old
Coopers & Lybrand:
Of all the pages that get handled each day in the average office, 90 percent
are merely shuffled.
The average document gets copied 19 times.
Companies spend $20 in labor to file a document, $120 in labor to find a
misfiled document, and $220 in labor to reproduce a lost document.
7.5 percent of all documents get lost, 3 percent of the remainder get misfiled.
Professionals spend 5-15 percent of their time reading information, and up to
50 percent of their time looking for it.
There are over 4 trillion paper documents in the U.S. alone – growing at a rate
of 22 percent per year.
Anyone have such a Coopers & Lybrand publication or study, or better yet,
more current sources for similar statistics?
Thanks!
