Welcome to the MetaViewer Blog

Happy 2019! It’s a new year of technological developments, business growth and ongoing transformation, and we’re excited about it! As the new year begins, your organization may be considering investing in new technology, like a robotic process automation (RPA) solution.

We love robotic process automation (RPA), and our customers have seen some serious success and ROI after implementing RPA technology. However, we also recognize that there are many RPA implementation projects that fail, or that don’t generate the expected ROI or efficiency gains. This does not mean that the technology is bad or that the vendor did not implement correctly. In fact, a failed RPA project can occur for a variety of reasons.

You’ve been entering data manually into your company’s AP system for years. Never mind that it is clunky, paper-based, inefficient and wrought with data entry errors, it’s your system and you’ll use it if you want to!

If you're one of the enterprises that has taken the plunge into integrating a document management solution, we want to say kudos! Once you've experienced the benefits of a paperless automation solution, it's hard to look back at your previously paper-based processes and say, "Gosh, I sure do miss that manual data entry!"

Today is Friday, which means that you've survived another week of work and are likely gearing up for a (hopefully) relaxing weekend. When your week is wrapping up, you may find yourself looking back at your productivity and analyzing your to-do list wondering where you lost time, how many hours you spent on tedious tasks and how you could have gotten even more done. Or you're just thinking about that movie that's been sitting in your Netflix queue since Monday.

Either way, since it's not the weekend quite yet, let's examine the week and consider all the things you could have done instead of manual data entry.

MetaViewer team members are brushing up on their two-step because on Oct. 10 they’re heading to Nashville for GPUG Summit 2017!

Our hearts continue to go out to all those affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Many of our customers and partners have been experiencing the wrath of these natural disasters, and all of us at Metafile offer our continued thoughts and support.

The leaves are starting to change here in Minnesota (yes, we're in mourning), so the MetaViewer team is packing up and heading south to Tampa for the 10th annual DSLUG Fall Conference. And not only will we be there to network, educate and do some of our own learning (even we don't know everything about Microsoft Dynamics!), this year we are proud to be a Gold Sponsor!

Many of our blog readers have either already automated your financial processes with paperless automation software, like MetaViewer, or are looking for ways to automate. And if you’ve been enjoying the benefits of automation, you’re probably looking around like a kid in a toy store wondering, “What else can I automate!?!”
