The Content Group Advises Construction Industry to Remove Project Risk Through Enterprise Content Management

In a New White Paper on Document Workflow and Invoice Processing, The Content Group Helps Construction Companies Reduce the Risks Associated With Poor Information Management

GODALMING, England, September 30, 2010 - Enterprise Content Management (ECM) (
www.thecontentgroup.co.uk/Invoice_Capture.aspx) specialist - The
Content Group www.thecontentgroup.co.uk - is releasing a White Paper
on document workflow (www.thecontentgroup.co.uk/Invoice_Capture.aspx_
and invoice processing (www.thecontentgroup.co.uk/Invoice_Capture.aspx
) that advises the Construction industry of the threats inherent in poor
information management. In an industry overwhelmed with massive quantities of
information and poor data management processes, the paper identifies the
current issues construction companies face and looks at how organisations can
reduce the damage caused to building projects by implementing a robust ECM
solution in-house.

For a majority of construction companies, the administrative
overhead associated with every aspect of the construction process, from
planning, day-to-day project management, building regulations and health and
safety, remains heavily reliant upon manual processes and huge quantities of
paper.

The Content Group's White Paper on document workflow and
invoice processing - Cutting Fixed Costs to Build a Better Business -
discusses how in previous years, most companies simply had neither the time
nor the incentive to consider opportunities for streamlining processes and
reducing administrative costs. In light of the recent state of the economy
however, it is now essential for the industry to get its house in order.

Andrew Mais, Solutions Specialist at The Content Group,
comments "With a growing stakeholder demand for cost reduction and risk
management, it is the construction companies that embrace ECM and improve
internal processes who will be best placed to ramp up quickly as the good
times return."

Construction organisations cannot continue to ignore the
potential risks of project overrun penalties, the risk of personal injury
litigation or, simply, the huge administrative costs associated with the
manual management of contracts, drawings, health & safety information in
emails, paper documents and digital media.
