Consequences
40 of all files in a system are duplicates
20 of all files can be re-used without
modifications
30 of all files can be re-used with minor
modifications
80 times per week the layouter spents time in
searching...
3 hours per week per person are waisted on file
administration
3,5 hours per week per person are wasted on
transferring files
These numbers come from the GISTICS Media Asset
Management Report dated 1999 !
Today, it is even worse !
