Information is one of your organization’s most valuable assets, but those stacks of document cartons and full filing cabinets are occupying space that can be used for profit-generating and growth activities. Integrating proven technology and streamlining how we access and use information frees up valuable payroll hours spent looking through hard copy documents, and avails your business of valuable real estate that is being consumed by on-site document storage. A single DVD has the capacity to hold information that would need to be physically stored in thirty filing cabinets. Most companies have a longstanding relationship with paper documents that has been slow to change. As we work to make the shift to a less paper-dependent office, it becomes clear that increasing regulations and the slow acceptance of electronic signatures on documents as a legal substitute means that paper is here to stay and as such, must be dealt with.
In weighing the benefits of digitizing your documents, there are a few key points that make the case for scanning your hard copies to digital. Paper documents are rarely backed up, making them vulnerable to permanent loss through accidental damage or misuse. When more than one person needs to view or use a document at a time, you’re forced to create and keep additional copies, feeding the beast and increasing your paper mountain.
Digital copies will not deteriorate from time or handling. With digital copies, you can disseminate information instantly to staff in multiple locations, without having to make and distribute photocopies—saving time, reducing supply costs, and lessening your organization’s environmental impact. Digital copies also reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of paper files that need to be transported. Making the transition to digital documents eliminates delays caused by misplaced documents, improving response time and customer service.
