Moving to an enterprise content management system ( ECM ) offers huge benefits for accounting departments, including improved efficiency, cost savings and — when correctly implemented — a great return on investment. But other departments may resist using an ECM system, often because they don’t see how ECM fits into their processes and ways of working. Legal departments tend to resist ECM either due to compliance and regulations or to misconceptions about the validity of digital documents

The only way this works is when you are doing a fleet replacement against aging HP's. There are a zillion 42XX HP's and even though they are cheap to run on 3rd party cartridges customer are looking for something new. We are seeing closer to .01 on the MP 401 and SP 4520 which opens up lots of possibilities. Put 20 of them on a lease, replace the whole fleet with a single model and end up with a TCO of .013 or so. Getting to a single invoice, supplies and contact is icing on the cake.
