“ A lot of our customers are smaller and still send us paper purchase orders. When we ran it out across our business globally, we were spending at least 160 hours a week entering in data. With the IBM Sterling Document Conversion Services tool, we have the potential to free up our resources to do other things, to better support our business. In some cases, it’s going to mean the difference between offices being profitable and not profitable.” ”
