Data scrubbing, Process and Procedures review, extreme data entry & review, Template set-up.Streamline/Update Processes Example: Migrate to OneNote cloud workbooks processes & procedures for use in the new Employee Onboarding process I solidified, and to collaborate with coworkers in other countries with the fine-tuning of documents.Updating customer’s Equipment & Technology Example: By doing a cost/benefit analysis I supported my suggestion to turn in the Pitney Bowes stamp machine that they had been paying a $350/year lease on since 2007 in exchange for using PB's new online stamp service. In an excel spreadsheet I showed the extremely low volume of monthly mail, current lease cost, and actual postage costs as compared to PB's new online stamp service vs. Stamps.com's service. I found that they would not only save a significant amount per year by switching to PB's new service, but they would also gain features: Sending Certified mail (their current PB machine is too old to support this); ability to send and track via USPS and 2 other shippers, carrier discounts, and a free 10-pound scale - while still keeping the lower per stamp cost with no lease.Review Vendor Costs Example: A company was using a different Pest Control vendor for each one of their buildings, so I contacted all the vendors, gave them a listing of all properties, and let them bid to us for their service for all buildings - when completed overall cost was decreased by $550+ per month.
