With OCIE:

A company can save costs by eliminating or reducing:

• The number of copies needed for multi-part forms.
• Any portion (or all of) the paper used in generating internal reports.
• Expenditures towards paper, storage files, boxes, cabinets, etc. for archives.
• Employee positions which exist simply for the handling and distribution of report information.
• Shipping and mailing costs of getting information to field people, branch offices, etc..
• All labor costs for fiche preparation.
• All charges for fiche preparation services, copies, delivery, maintenance on viewers, etc.
• All labor costs involved in looking up information archived on fiche.
• All soft costs involved due to slow response time. With OCIE, customer inquiries can be handled immediately on that call. Eliminate hundreds or thousands of phone charges associated with calling the customer back.

OCIE attacks these costs head on. The monthly savings generated by incorporating OCIE are often in the tens of thousands of dollars. Even very small firms can enjoy the benefits of OCIE by using Donnell Systems' OCIE Service. The fees for the service are offset by savings in paper and fiche expenditures !
