Imaging Office Systems: June 2014
http://blog.imagingoffice.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
An Employee Owned Company. Monday, June 16, 2014. It Would Only Be Strange If It Wasn't True. At IOS, we often talk about how a single content management solution won’t be perfect for all companies, but content management, if designed and implemented properly, will be a perfect fit for every single company. To illustrate, check out this little game. Mix and match a selection from each of the lists A, B and C and then read the sentence you created. Accounts Payable time repetitive transactions. BlueWare t...

Imaging Office Systems: July 2014

An Employee Owned Company. Monday, July 14, 2014. It's the Idea that Matters. We recently spent time working on IOS’s Why. Looking not at what we do but why we do it. If you’ve seen Simon Sinek’s great TED talk or read Start with Why, this will be familiar to you. When we got to the heart of it for IOS, what did we discover? Everything we do is based on the simple philosophy that it’s the idea that matters. Why is it the idea that we’re so passionate about? Another person had this take. When a custom...

Imaging Office Systems: September 2014

An Employee Owned Company. Monday, September 15, 2014. If you think money can't buy happiness. I recently took a 7-week Social Psychology course (coursera.org…check it out) and week 7 covered. The science of happiness. The findings:. Money can buy happiness. Couples are happier than single people. Having children does not, according to research, mean you’ll be happier (My son rolled his eyes when I told him. I can kind of see where that research is coming from…). From Brian’s post:. You feel frustrated b...

Imaging Office Systems: February 2015

An Employee Owned Company. Monday, February 16, 2015. The Trane Don't Wait. The perfect reply was immediate: “Well, you know, the Trane don’t wait.”. Neither John Coltrane nor the metaphorical train of progress waits. They are leaving the station with or without you. The answer – disagreeable to the extreme – is that if you are still just thinking about process change, process reinvention and automation there is about a decade of train track to make up. What’s worse? The good news is that there is still ...

Imaging Office Systems: Not Just Another Day
http://blog.imagingoffice.com/2015/02/not-just-another-day.html
An Employee Owned Company. Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Not Just Another Day. It’s Monday. It’s the day after the Super Bowl. And, if you live in the Midwest, it’s the third day of a marathon snowstorm. That’s a lot to deal with on even a normal day. Today isn’t a normal day. It’s Groundhog Day. I’m not sure today is a “holiday”, but all the pomp and circumstance give it that vibe. For whatever reason, it has a special-day feel. We’ve proven that our brand of communication, creativity, agility and ...

Imaging Office Systems: November 2014
http://blog.imagingoffice.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
An Employee Owned Company. Monday, November 17, 2014. 10 to 15 minutes twice per day. I spend at least that much time thinking about how IOS uses information. I think about what we need, craft where we will get it and fret about how much effort it will take. In that respect, IOS is just like every other business. It helps me to create out loud. It gives me a chance to hear what I’m thinking. If I can’t explain it, I probably don’t know exactly what I want. They don’t have anyone to talk to. The...Sometim...

Imaging Office Systems: May 2014
http://blog.imagingoffice.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
An Employee Owned Company. Friday, May 16, 2014. From the IOS Mailbag. I would like to discuss some ideas on how best to proceed with my current situation. I know we need to do something, but I need some direction on how to do the analysis to prove it. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. By the way, I enjoyed watching your videos. If you are considering upgrading / replacing the current system, I think you need to know exactly how much it really costs to operate in the current environment...

Imaging Office Systems: I Want... Scratch that, I Need.
http://blog.imagingoffice.com/2015/05/i-want-scratch-that-i-need.html
An Employee Owned Company. Friday, May 1, 2015. I Want. Scratch that, I Need. It’s just a watch - - - except it isn’t. A watch that’s just a watch only marks time. This isn’t that watch. Apple didn’t invent the watch. They just made it better. Apple cracked the code. Move from being a nice-to-have to a need-to-have. They sold integration. They sold potential. They sold hope. They sold the attitude of embracing continuous improvement. Our business alter-ego should be just as invested in how technology int...

Imaging Office Systems: April 2015
http://blog.imagingoffice.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
An Employee Owned Company. Monday, April 20, 2015. Remember - Don't Relive. 8220;Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe closet? The Breakfast Club was re-released in theaters. 8220;Screws fall out all the time. The world’s an imperfect place.”. It’s been 30 years since it came out. Even though we’ve both seen it dozens of times, my wife and I still went to watch it on the big screen. Not because we expected something different to happen – more for the nostalgia of it. You’re putting your bus...
