Oce Business Services' Workshops at MAILCOM Conference Help Organizations Leverage the Latest Best Practices and Technology

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Executives from Oce Business Services, a leader in document process management and electronic discovery services, will present 11 educational workshops on mail and other document management strategies at the MAILCOM 31st Annual Conference and Exposition.

Oce presentations will spotlight how organizations can reduce costs and streamline their mail, information and records management processes. To achieve these and other business goals, Oce experts will highlight the latest industry best practices, technology and sourcing strategies.

As an example, one session focuses on digital mail, including digital mail processes and components, business benefits such as faster access to incoming documents, records considerations and more. Another session looks at the benefits of co-sourcing, an alternative sourcing approach in which a company partners with a mail services provider to improve operational efficiency while maintaining management control. Co-sourcing helps build long-term client/service provider relationships whereby each brings best practices to the partnership.
