Business DriversBusiness Drivers

Considering the documents that are printed out as part of your formal approval processes, what proportion would you say are printed for the purpose of adding one or more signatures?

In 56% of organizations, more than half of the printed documents are printed just to add a signature.

On average 55% of all process docs.
