Backgrounder
Recent studies by IDC, the Working Council of CIOs, the Ford Motor Company, and Reuters found that:
- Knowledge workers spend from 15% to 35% of their time searching for information.
- Searchers are successful in finding what they seek 50% of the time or less.
- 40% of corporate users report that they cannot find the information they need to do their jobs on their intranets.
- Some studies suggest that 90% of the time that knowledge workers spend in creating new reports is spent recreating information that already exists.
- An IDC report suggests that rework costs an enterprise about $5,000 per person per year for an estimated annual total of $12 million dollars across the U.S. Furthermore, not locating and retrieving information has an opportunity cost of $15 million dollars per year.
According to the AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management):
- 15% of documents are misplaced
- 30% of the work day is spent searching for information
- Wall Street Journal reports the average US executive wastes six weeks per year retrieving misplaces information from messy desks and files. For an Executive earning $75,000 a year, that translates to a loss of $9,221. For a company with one hundred executives at that salary, translates to nearly $1 million in lost productivity
- 7.5 % of documents are lost forever
