C2P Audit

New national research has shown that Australian and New Zealand local councils will:

• Invest in excess of $7 million annually into their Document Conception to Publication (C2P) processes
• Create over 9,000 pages of print content each year
• Have nearly 2,500 documents in the public domain
• Have little visibility over these largely hidden costs
• Frequently deploy inconsistent and wasteful processes
• Frequently deliver to a low standard of presentation
• Be able to realise savings in excess of $3 million per annum by changing the way they produce documents

These figures are derived from a comprehensive analysis performed across many local authorities, but in order to act with confidence, organisations need to have visibility over their own activities.

Concept to Publish (C2P) Audit

Objective is pleased to offer a consultant led C2P Audit to provide customers with hard data relating to their own processes and C2P investments. Our professional services team will conduct detailed interviews (workshops and surveys) with staff and stakeholders, use automated web analysis tools and statistical analysis to provide a validated dataset for management to evaluate and plan C2P business transformation measures.

The programme provides the following outputs:

• An analysis of the scale of the undertaking for the organisation- i.e. what is getting produced, how and to what standards
• Mapping of the processes deployed in the organisation, using the C2P reference model
• Cost analysis of the document production process
• Identification of inefficiencies
• Analysis of graphic design use and costs to the organisation
• Analysis of media distribution and costs to the organisation
• The report is presented in the form of a strategic roadmap that incorporates practical next steps and a timetable to assist you in budgeting and planning to maximise returns and improve business efficiency through enhanced C2P processes.

The C2P Audit will:

• Benchmark your organisation's document production profile against industry best practice
• Identify achievable savings for your organisation
• Establish a business case for the organisation

Concept to Publish (C2P)

Objective's Limehouse solution has been successfully supporting local governments in the inception, creation and publication of large, complex documents, creating more than 15,000 of these documents for over 250 customers. This experience has been crystalised in the Concept to Publish (C2P) solution, which encompasses:

• A best practice process for document production from Conception through to Publishing
• The software tools necessary to execute the process
• A methodology to move an organisation from their current document production practices to realising the full benefits of C2P
