Compliance risk is top of mind for IT leaders, and document sprawl is a big reason why. In fact, 60% of IT leaders say that the proliferation of documents across multiple systems is one of their biggest concerns.
When the same lease, invoice, or contract is stored in ten different systems, confusion becomes inevitable. Which version is the most up to date? Who has the right permissions? And more importantly, would this file withstand an audit?
This uncertainty creates inefficiency and risk. Teams waste time searching, verifying, and reconciling documents, while organizations face heightened exposure to compliance failures. Regulators don’t accept “close enough", they require accurate, certified versions.
At imkore, we address this challenge head-on. Our approach reduces document sprawl by creating and maintaining a single certified version of each document. This authoritative version integrates directly into your existing systems, ensuring cohesion without disrupting established workflows.
The outcome is clear: fewer risks, stronger compliance, and greater confidence that the right document is always in the right place.
