  • Independent Research: The Age Of Customer Obsession Has Arrived

    Staying competitive in the age of the customer calls for organisations to know what their customers want and then to make sure they get it—every time. But marketing and IT still struggle to deliver exceptional customer experiences. A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of e-Spirit, - “Climbing the Digital Experience Maturity Ladder Through An Integrated Technology Approach" describes why: - Companies struggle to embrace the proliferation of channels (e.g. Web, print, mobile, smart TVs, etc); implement tools that are IT-centric instead of marketing-centric; sit on a mountain of data and content that isn’t managed properly; and use siloed rather than integrated technology solutions to support customer experiences. With all of these challenges, organisations can no longer sustain these manually intensive processes. They need better solutions to properly create, deliver, and measure customer experiences in a timely and cost-effective... More →
  • FM companies looking for improved and innovative ideas to save space and money.

    Document Storage – the answer to an FM Manager’s prayers! - FM managers and Estates managers all have the same problem - too much paper! And that paper has to be kept for ever-increasing lengths of time. Storetec has noticed an increase in the number of enquiries and new clients from the FM sector, companies who need help with storage, but also need to know that they can access their documents at the drop of a hat. - FM Managers and estate managers are all finding how much more cost effective it is to have documents scanned and stored by specialists. It’s much cheaper to move documents taking up valuable office space and have them looked after externally, than having larger premises. - A recent client of Storetec involved a company that needed more room, more staff and more storage. The cost of relocating would have run into hundreds of thousands of pounds. Instead they used the space they already had in a better way. It’s about managing the facilities within that building and being willing to look at things with fresh eyes in order to save that company money. - Even in the age of electronic communication the amount of paper documents being generated by business is still...

  • Electronic Content management

    Gartner reports on Electronic Content Management (ECM) and how it can realize a range of productivity goals, including the following: - Improve Effectiveness. Better data quality can lead to better decisions, as time and energy are not wasted. Project team support environments have a strong base in ECM. Knowledge repositories based on ECM can help companies build competitive differentiation, innovate better and realize better customer service. - Reduce Operational Cost. Electronic management and delivery of client information using e-bill presentment and multichannel approaches to engage prospects and clients with relevant information requires Web Channel optimization using Web Content Management (WCM) tools. Costs can be reduced by consolidating diverse repositories of content and getting off of legacy content management tools where ongoing maintenance costs can be significant. - Optimize Business Processes. ECM began with document imaging and document management of high-volume information flowing through repetitive processes. These transactional types of ECM environments are critical to driving efficiencies in departments for mission-critical processes. - Achieve Regulatory... More →
  • X-ray imaging for London NHS.

    Storetec Services Limited has been chosen as the preferred X-ray imaging provider for a London based NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The X-ray scanning solution will provide the CCG with high quality digital images in TIFF file format. - The CCG conducted an internal review and considered carefully the cost of onsite storage, the logistical issues of viewing and sharing the information contained on the X-rays and the requirements of their own patient record retention policy. The conclusion of the review - the X-rays needed to be digitised. - High Quality Imaging - After extensive sampling and quality checking by the CCG and Storetec a specification was agreed which called for very high quality image scanning. - Each X-ray will be cleaned to remove any dust or debris prior to being scanned. It will then be fluid mounted on the flatbed of the scanner to ensure that a perfect seal is maintained between the X-ray and the platen glass. Scanning will then be completed and the output will be to a TIFF image file format. - A series of digital enhancements will further process the image to ensure that the quality of the scan matches that of the X-ray. The X-ray reference... More →

The new members of staff, Rachel Jayne Fawcett (19), Jazmin Kirk (19) and Raju Miah (18), have joined the customer support department on a full time basis. - Rachel Jayne Fawcett Jazmin Kirk Raju Miah - Each of the apprentices will work closely with a mentor who will guide them through their training and oversee their individual development.

  • Paperless NHS?

    Renewed calls from Health secretary Jeremy Hunt for a paperless NHS by 2018 - As technology plays an ever-increasing part of the new model economy, the NHS and social care services are failing to modernise and as a result putting lives at risk. - It is estimated that as much as £4.4 billion could be re-allocated if appropriate technologies were widely adopted by the NHS. - With patients waiting to long, and the front line services starved of vital information new technology cannot come fast enough. Mr. Hunt said this month that he wants hospital referrals for patients to be completely paperless by March 2015 - Paperless working in the NHS is nothing new; the move to new technologies was started back in 2010 by Andrew Lansley. However the question is can the NHS deliver the paperless working environment as many trusts are missing deadlines for the upgrading of electronic records systems. - Other concerns in the race for paperless working in the NHS are the availability of suitable document scanning partners to support the change from paper-based records to electronic record systems. With a new code of practice in place, replacing ûHSC 1999/053 – For the Record, ûHSC 1998/217... More →
