In 1984, when records centers were operated using hand-written multi-part forms, Frank engineered the use of barcodes at BiS. Today BiS still uses the legacy system Frank has perfected to include such features as billed monthly reports to customer listing all of their checked-out cartons and files. Value-added services like these produce substantial storage and service revenues. And with just 7 FTEs per $1million of non-imaging revenue significant profits flow to BiS' bottom line. Here’s Frank to tell us all how to use financial metrics to boost our bottom lines.
