How to: Save time on admin - Integrate with Tools you are already using
Are you looking at how to save time on business administration tasks? Admin can be a frustrating part of any role, and it’s essential to remove or reduce administrative tasks and paperwork to improve productivity. Automating administrative tasks and integrating new technology and software into the systems you already use is a positive way to save time on admin and increase productivity. Helping employees reduce the amount of administrative tasks from their role can also free them up for more strategic or skill-based work. According to The State of Systems of Agreement Survey of 954 technology purchasing decision-makers by Forrester Consulting, commissioned on behalf of DocuSign, organisations spend a significant amount of time manually inputting information from one system to another.
- 61% said that they had to rework agreements due to errors from manually transferring data such as customer or product information from other systems.
- 55% said they had to manually add data to contracts that already exist.
Administrative tasks often take up a considerable chunk of workers time, and duplicating effort across systems is simply a waste of effort. Read on to discover how DocuSign can integrate with the tools and software you are already using.
