We took each report and attempted to backtrack the "owners" of the reports and the touchpoints. After much wrangling we settled on about 15 vital reports and 30 "needed by so and so person" reports. We cutover the new transaction processing system during a 45 day parallel process (close in the old system, open in the new system) and only furnished 5 reports daily. As certain people trickled out of the woodwork we determined what they needed and added it to the "progamming list". After one year the number of reports was a grand total of 18, twelve of which were delivered electronically. We also disabled all the printers on the floor except for check and closing statement preparation printers. Only one printer was available for reports on each of the floors.
