For airlines, the right document management solution is the difference between stressed employees dealing with a mass of complex information during peak times, and an organisation running efficiently, saving on costs and freeing up employees’ time to utilise on higher-value tasks.
There are a number a challenges faced by in-house publishing teams when it comes to managing mission-critical data, such as manipulating complex XML structured documents - with the knock-on effect that, if any delays occur, this could halt other operations.
So could the solution to increasing organisational efficiency and reducing costs be to use a supported document management system to help manage the load?
