Last year, Laserfiche introduced a new Run Smarter® Award—the Tom Wayman Leadership Award—to honor an individual within the Laserfiche community who exemplifies extraordinary leadership, vision and commitment to sharing the Run Smarter® philosophy.

Barry Chapman, IT Director at Hanson McClain Advisors, a Sacramento-based investment advisory firm with over $2 billion in assets under management, has been named the second recipient of this prestigious award.

Chapman has used Laserfiche to develop more than 80 workflows that automate everything from approval routing to new client onboarding. His most notable accomplishment is using Laserfiche as integrative middleware between the firm’s CRM, E-Signature application and forms filling software. With this integration, Chapman has been able to create a new account opening process that he hopes will save the firm more than 40,000 hours a year on document processing.

“It has been exciting to use Laserfiche to build a client onboarding process that takes a mere 30 minutes to complete,” said Chapman. “I’m honored to receive this award and inspired to use Laserfiche to achieve a culture of continuous improvement at Hanson McClain.”

The Run Smarter® awards ceremony took place this morning during the Laserfiche Empower 2015 Conference in Anaheim, CA. For real-time updates, follow #empower15 on Twitter.
