Share Your Success:
Nominate Your Organization for a Run Smarter Award

Submissions must be received by August 26, 2011

All of us here at Laserfiche love what our users do with our software. Our customers come up with so many creative and ingenious ways of using Laserfiche that we’re constantly surprised. If you’re one of those innovative users, we want to hear from you.

Have you used Laserfiche to save money, time or resources? Increase efficiency? Make other improvements to your daily operations? We want to know, and we want other users to know too. Nominate yourself for a Run Smarter® Award and tell us how Laserfiche has helped you do more, more easily.

Run Smarter Awards are presented in eight categories: City, County and International Government, Financial Services, Healthcare, K-12 and Higher Education, and Commercial. You’ll be judged on how creative your solution is and how it can inspire other Laserfiche users to think more inventively in their own organizations.

Winners will receive a scholarship and three-night hotel accommodations, as well as a speaking slot at the 2012 Laserfiche Institute Training Conference in Anaheim, California, so they can share their award-winning ideas with other users.

And if all the accolades aren’t enough, winners will also have a profile of their award-winning solution published in the Laserfiche UserNews.

For any questions, please contact Melissa Henley at 562-988-1688 ext. 230.

Please provide all contact information to ensure you receive award status information.

Here are some tips for filling out your application:

  • While you're completing your application, think about what "Run Smarter" means to your organization. What changes have you seen in your organization? How are you operating more efficiently? How have you used Laserfiche creatively? Did you purchase Laserfiche for one reason and then find more and different ways to use it across your organization? Share these with the judges.
  • Although technology excellence matters, our award committee is also very interested in the impact that Laserfiche has had on your organization. Therefore, judges look for solid business metrics – the more, the better. Numbers—like space saved, file cabinets eliminated, current and projected ROI, and specific business results—are always persuasive. In addition, a clear explanation of the results you've seen or the changes Laserfiche has brought to your organization helps the judging committee understand why Laserfiche is important to your organization.
  • Judges look for compelling stories that have a beginning (a goal), a middle (the deployment and system expansion) and an end (the results/ROI). Any details that you can share to explain what's at stake, the obstacles you overcame, and the larger meaning of Laserfiche to your organization, the services you provide or your business help your application really stand out.
