officescanners.co.uk

In our first post we mentioned our company wide initiative and item 3 was:

"Produce a dedicated outlet to home software and hardware which formerly resided on intelligentfiling.com"

So, we have (sort of, but we'll get to the details in a minute) - in the form of officescanners.co.uk - this site is currently serving up all sorts of tasty deals on quite a wide range of document scanners from the likes of Fujitsu, Panasonic, Kodak, Canon and Visioneer. We're still adding items to the catalogue - so if you can't see a scanner you're looking for, then call us and we'll get you the costs.

What you won't find on officescanners.co.uk is document storage products and document scanning software. The software (such as EMC's InputAccel Express, eCopy etc) can have quite a complex pricing structure and this doesn't really fit well with online selling; yes it is possible to have a few "bundles" but thats a one size fits all approach and thats not what we're about - we always want our clients to receive the best service and ensure that they receive the products that they want - no compromise. If you're after costs on this software, then speak with one of our sales team as they'll be able to get you a detailed break down. This is not to say that the site will be completely void of software - some will make it's way onto the site while other's such as the e-VU Products have found new permanent homes - but if in doubt, contact us.

Document storage products are a completely different kettle of fish though; with the prevalence of cheap storage (NAS, SAN) etc, the enquiries we receive have lessened to such an extent, that the work required to ensure that the information we carry on our site is current, is far greater than it's benefit to our business - and if our resources are being drained on a cause which is not worthwhile - this impacts our ability to service our clients in other areas. So, the section has gone from this site, and it won;t reappear on officescanners.co.uk either - but, we'll always be able to help by phone or email (we wouldn't turn our back on any section of our client base we just have to work smarter).

So there you have it, officescanners.co.uk completes our quartet of changes - so put us to the test today and see how we can benefit your business - you'll never know unless you try!

myOfficeFiling.com for all things e-VU

As we mentioned in our last post, we embarked on our four pillars initiative late last year - but this isn't strictly true, we'd actually set off down this path much earlier in the year - we just hadn't realised it. By this we mean file@home and the myhomefiling.com web site. v2 of the file@home software came with an updated web site and we were actually getting interest in the product - downloads a plenty and wait for it, yes, paying customers!

When we looked at our e-VU software (especially e-VU Professional) and how we were marketing the product (buried deep within intelligentfiling.com) it was so blindingly obvious that it needed to follow the file@home strategy we all had to wear sunglasses for a week.....

So that's what happened - we rebuilt the software from the ground up - and ensured we stuck to the plan; no feature creep - which is bloody hard work btw, and then we turned our attention to the marketing/web presence - and what do you know - myofficefiling.com materialised, and do you know it's paying off in a big way. Our download rate is through the roof (compared to the previous download history), you can google the name e-VU now and you won't have to go trawling through pages and pages of rubbish to find information, it'll be listed on page 1.

A remarkable turn around we think you'll agree and one that we'll continue to develop over the coming months.

So with this site trimmed down, file@home over at myhomefiling.com and e-VU residing at the myofficefiling.com towers you could say we're feeling pretty chuffed with ourselves - but what to do about all that pesky software and hardware?

Until the next time

intelligentfiling.com site update

Welcome to the new look intelligentfiling.com.

As part of our renewed focus on the provision of consultancy services to our clients, the site content has been trimmed down and you'll find that it's now devoid of all software and product information (obviously if you've never been to the site before, then you wouldn't have know that information used to reside here - but we digress).

Anyway, maintaining a "one-stop-shop" of information was becoming problematic for both us and for people visiting the site, and with no clear direction it was too easy to get lost in the maze of links. Even our own software products (e-VU Express and e-VU Professional) felt as though they never belonged to the site, that they'd just been tagged on.

So our four pillars initiative was put into place during the latter half of last year. This initiative breaks down like so:

• 1. Focus Intelligent Filing back onto it's strongest asset, document management consultancy
• 2. Provide Intelligent Filing (business) software a dedicated "space" on the internet
• 3. Produce a dedicated outlet to home software and hardware which formerly resided on intelligentfiling.com
• 4. Allow our consumer product room to breath by removing as much Intelligent Filing "corporate" influence as possible

So, before your very eyes you see some of the work which has gone into tackling No. 1. But what about the others? Well, if you keep a close watch on this very blog announcements will be coming thick and fast over the next few days.

For now, please take a look around the site and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Kind Regards
