95% Cost Reduction?
Only 5% of information is correctly archived

95% Cost Reduction?

One of our larger customers in insurance, held an internal audit of their Document Management Solution, as they were thinking about the evolution of the solution.

In the end, the conclusion was that only about 5% of the information that was stored in their document solution, should actually be stored in that system. 

What were the consequences of this:

  • Compliance issues: MiFID II and GDPR in particular
  • Missing out on cost savings: The DMS solution requires licenses for every user and costly data and database storage
  • Issues with guaranteeing the validity of digitally signed contracts

Most of the information should have been stored in compliant archiving solution:

  • Customer Communication: Should be archived in an unalterable way
  • Customer Contracts
  • HR documents
  • Medical Information
  • Data and documents from old, decommissioned systems
  • Financial Reporting
  • Financial Data

So, what 5% did actually require a DMS?

  • Procedures
  • Reporting that had to follow an audited procedure


Several of our customers have achieved significant cost savings thanks to using our Docbyte archiving solution:

  • Reduction of migration costs, as data is no longer migrated to new systems, but consulted from the archive
  • Reduction of run cost: One customer achieved a run cost saving of up to 500K€ on one system
  • Reduction of total TCO of the IT environment: Decommissioning of several outdated IT systems


What cost savings can be achieved?

  • Data storage: By only storing the data you need, you can free up space and reduce the amount of fast and costly storage you need to purchase or lease
  • Backup and Disaster Recovery: By reducing the size of your data storage, you can lower the cost of your data backup and disaster recovery.
  • IT: By reducing the amount of data you need to store, you can also reduce the number of licenses you need to purchase. 
  • Legal and Compliance: Archiving helps you to implement the proper compliance rules and  makes  it easier to produce the information you need for audits.
  • Migration: By only migrating the necessary information, you can save time and money while still ensuring that you have access to the data you need.
