How efficient would you say you are in the office? Your colleagues may consider you to be a model of efficiency but results of a recent survey tell a different story

According to research by Oracle, UK businesses waste up to £900million a week on inefficient storage and working practices - the equivalent of 30million wasted man hours. The survey revealed that the average worker uses more than five different applications weekly in the office and it’s this use of separate applications that is resulting in wasted time as information is copied and pasted and stored within several different systems. Brits spend over an hour a week each on locating files or important documents from emails, folder or shared file servers, while the average office workers wastes away 74 minutes a week copying, pasting and re-entering the same information into separate documents.
