2. Discuss why a DMS transforms the way a business operates.
How should SSC prepare for a DMS if it decides to implement one?
3. Collect estimates for the costs of buying or implementing a DMS at SSC.
4. Using the data collected by Sam, create a spreadsheet that calculates the costs of handling paper at SSC based on hourly rates per employee of $16, $22, and $28. Add the cost of lost documents to this. Then, add the costs of warehousing the paper, which increases by 10% every month due to increases in volume. Present the results, showing both monthly totals and a yearly total. Prepare graphs as visualization tools so that Sam can easily perceive the projected growth in warehousing costs over the next three years. Download the spreadsheet to help you get started from the textbook’s Web site.
5. Identify at least one additional cost factor (other than better security) that might be reduced or eliminated with the DMS
.
6. How can DMS also serve as a disaster recovery system in case of fire, flood, or break-in?
7. Submit your recommendation for a DMS solution. Identify two vendors in your recommendation.
