The Digital Mailroom

A Digital Mailroom can come in many different forms, shapes and sizes. Ultimately a Digital Mailroom represents a single corporate entry for all incoming and outgoing business documents and in some case all communications. Different types of documents are entering organisations, like paper-based mail, emails, text messages, XML content, etc. which normally come into various places and the digital mailroom enables organisations to digitise this information and make it available centrally for any of its employees. Mailrooms also work as outbound processing engines to digitise or not outbound communications such as  invoices, customer communications in a personalised or dynamic manner etc

An inbound and outbound digital mailroom can act as the digitisation and routing tool for the whole business, delivering digital content where needed by a person or a process, representing the initial step towards digital transformation.

Common Mailroom challenges

There are five major challenges with mailrooms:

Inefficient tracking of high-value documents

Mail processing is slow and error prone

Poor visibility of mail processing performance

Little insight into process improvement opportunities

Outgoing mail costs are not minimised

Both, the increased traffic to electronic inboxes and the physical deliveries represent a logistical problem, which creates the need for businesses to seek a way to control the incoming and outgoing paper and digital documents. Companies should consider implementing a system that can quickly and accurately bring the incoming and outgoing information together.

The mailroom should be at the heart of every organisation’s communication strategy. Having a digital mailroom solution into your business could enable you to streamline your processes and information flow and communicate more effectively.
