The Need For A Single Source Of Truth (Recorded Webinar!)

It's no secret: data and information is the lifeblood of project and client work, but only if it's well-organized, accessible, accurate and secure.

All businesses, regardless of size or industry, can benefit from having a single place where all project and client information is stored so they can see the complete picture of any given project they’re working on.

Managing information and having a Single Source of Truth is critical for project and client teams. When done right, it allows each team member to use their time, resources, and knowledge to make the right decisions at the right time, which allows them to shift their focus to the tasks they were hired to do.

What is a Single Source of Truth?

It's actually exactly what it sounds like. It's a single, master repository, that records and stores your critical documentation in one spot, so you and your team don't have to search through a sea of subfolders, or multiple programs, to find what you're looking for. When your information is saved in one spot, it results in one single version of truth that everyone in your organization can rely on.

Benefits of Implementing a Single Source of Truth 

Here are the top 6 benefits of implementing a solution to unify your information:

  1. Your data becomes discoverable

  2. Eliminate human error through automated workflows

  3. Establish version control

  4. Reduce man-hours wasted on searching for and recreating lost documents

  5. Increased transparency and traceability

  6. Comply with regulatory and legal requirements

Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Who is Mail Manager?

Email is now the go-to for all formal correspondence and important communication.

With email being the letter of today, that means every person’s inbox in a business is typically full of important written actions, agreements, attachments and more. Plus, with the number of emails being sent and received increasing around the world by the day, today’s inboxes are cluttered and unorganized.

They’re chaos. And they’re unsearchable. The result is an overloaded inbox, with information that’s hard to find.

Mail Manager is the Outlook email management solution developed by Arup to help project and client-based businesses eliminate their email headache.
