With the herald of Spring the endless calls to clean and get your house in order inevitably follow and who are we to buck the trend! So here are [PacSol](https://www.pacsol.co.uk/)’s Spring tips: ![Suzanne Rushton Sunrise Daffodil Unsplash](https://www.pacsol.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/UnSplashed%20Images/suzanne-rushton-sunrisedaffodil-unsplash-1024x177.jpg?width=880&height=152&name=suzanne-rushton-sunrisedaffodil-unsplash-1024x177.jpg) #### Spring Clean your platform (and associated kit) Last year we wrote a blog encouraging everyone to [perform a few basic maintenance tasks](https://www.pacsol.co.uk/spring-clean/) (most of which could be completed in the BST hour) which will keep your document management platform working optimally (or certainly to the best of its currently configured ability – more on that below) #### Shine a light on the success With that extra daylight, open the blinds and take a good look at your business process over the last year. Even if nothing has changed for a few years, identify where a process has been successful, look for an example of where technology has provided a secure, compliant but most importantly efficient solution that has empowered that department. Ask yourself: - What is the essence of that process solution that returns the most benefit to the department? - Can that process (or its principal) be copied across to other departments to provide extended benefits? - Despite its success, is there scope for even further gains (continuous improvement)? #### Seek out the hidden ‘crutches’ Having driven the shadows away, it is time to look for those ‘crutches’ – the practical actions by employees or the standalone applications installed to address a particular process snag that are still leant on today to complete a task. Undoubtedly this ‘crutch’ is reducing the efficiency of the business process. Perhaps take an hour to: - Identify the original reason for the workaround - Check to see if the issue has been rectified by a change in the installed solution provider software - Review the whole process as potentially a redesign would create greater efficiency and remove the issue #### Book a system review call with PacSol In less than 60 minutes (including the time it takes to make a hot beverage before the meeting), a [call with PacSol](https://www.pacsol.co.uk/contact-us/) to review your current installation, licencing, departmental usage and discuss what is potentially available in the latest versions (without any expense of upgrading), could potentially start a process revolution leading to greater efficiency, better employee satisfaction and a far greater return on investment.  What else could you get from that hour?   --- ![Toby Gilbertson](https://www.pacsol.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Staff%20Photos/TG_colour_left_close_square-1024x1024.jpg?width=150&height=150&name=TG_colour_left_close_square-1024x1024.jpg)Toby Gilbertson, Director of Operations.
