CVBs and document management: it makes cents

eBridge Solutions is headquartered in Tampa, Florida. I say this because everyone in the State is looking toward the Gulf of Mexico, watching and waiting to see what the BP oil disaster is going to do to our beaches... and our livelihoods.
One group working over time since the disaster are the 90 or so Florida convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs). Every time I turn on the television, there is a commercial for Pensacola beaches. Every time I read the newspaper, there is a special Florida hotel rate on Clearwater Beach. The organization behind many of these promotions is the local CVB.
It is the CVBs job to encourage business and leisure travel through outreach programs, advertising and joint planning with hotels, event destinations and restaurants. There are countless meetings, marketing campaigns and RFPs going on. That leads to a lot of paperwork. So, for CVBs to survive this summer, many are turning to document management as a COST SAVING measure.
Using document management, CVBs save money by:
- eliminating files, file cabinets and some office supplies
- eliminating off-site storage facilities
- allowing staff to email documents with two mouse clicks
- putting documents at your staff's fingertips for quick retrieval
- allowing auditors online access to certain documents
- increasing compliance with record retention mandates
If your CVB hasn't started to go paperless, now is the time. Watch our document management demo or call one of our National Account Managers at (877) 676-6067 x 324 today!
