How do you reduce costs by 80%
Established in 1989, Floyd Automatic Tooling Ltd is a family run
business, supplying the turned parts manufacturing industry with
consumable tooling.
The heavy burden of having to keep documentation on file for seven
years was taking its toll on the amount of office space available.
A mezzanine was dedicated to filing and information retrieved was
increasingly slow. This costly exercise could only escalate as the
volume of paper documents rose.
In addition, the prospect of HMRC audit loomed large. Floyd
Automatic is required to retain input materials paperwork for its
European suppliers and it must also be in a position to make these
readily available to HMRC. With resources critical, this situation
was simply not tenable.
Speed and ease of information retrieval were driving factors behind
the decision to choose Invu as their document management
solution.
Terry Smith, IT Manager explained
"An 80% saving in printer toner, paper and postage is a tremendous
cost
saving for a company of our size."

Invoice approval is a simple click of the mouse!
Cullum Detuners Ltd chose Invu for Business to accelerate their
invoice approval process using Invu workflow across the
world.
CDL designs, develops, manufactures and installs jet engine test
cell facilities and gas turbine acoustic enclosures for aircraft
carriers, oil rigs and submarines throughout the world.
The majority of manufacture takes place at their plant in
Derbyshire with some elements sub-contracted to companies in China,
America and the Czech Republic. Clients include Rolls Royce, Amec
and Alstom Power Inc.
Most of the work is project based, involving the management of many
complex, technical installations. Input is required from all parts
of the company, generating huge amounts of documentation. Tender
documents, project plans and design specications undergo change
control and are often revised during the course of a project.
They also integrate to their ERP system, Syteline, raising purchase
orders in Syteline to be automatically indexed into Invu. This
means that the procurement department raise purchase
orders in Syteline which are then automatically indexed into
Invu.
Tony Dow, IT Manager at Cullum Detuners Ltd explains "It has been a
big success. Invoice approval is now just a simple click of the
mouse, much quicker and easier than signing!"

obligations and scrutiny.
Against this background, the case for document and content
management is an obvious fit. But what issues will it solve or new
opportunities be opened up by adoption of this technology?
This whitepaper explores these whilst also taking a look at how to
avoid any pitfalls which might negatively impact your chargeability
if you decide that document management is right for your
practice.

Invu publish new whitepaper: Confused about SharePoint?
Invu have identified that there is much confusion around the
whole SharePoint issue, especially with the much anticipated launch
of SharePoint 2010 now just five months away. There seems to
be general awareness of its capabilities but lack of clarity around
the unique benefits it will offer.
Is it an enterprise content management tool? Is it a tool for
automation? Is it a document management system? Is it a vehicle for
a company intranet? Is it an application to solve content problems
generally within businesses?
The white paper demystifies SharePoint. Written by Stuart Evans,
Chief Technical Officer at Invu, it examines the different elements
within SharePoint and quantifies its capability to provide an
enterprise content management solution.
