Creating a Paperless Office: The Process

Have you ever been tasked to start a project, but it feels so daunting that you don’t even want to start?

An example at my house is painting my daughter’s room {again!}. As she has grown up, so have her tastes, and that means another coat of paint. I loathe painter’s tape and all the extra painting supplies I need to purchase and the weekend it takes to get it done. She says, “it’s easy Mom, just go buy the paint!” Not quite little one. I wish it was that easy!

I’ve been putting off painting her room for a few months now. Almost daily she’s been asking me when we’re going to start.

START.

Just start the process. So, this weekend, we’re going to buy the paint, the tape, the trays, the rollers. Everything we need to start the process. The team is ready {finally!} and even though I don’t want to paint, we’re going to start.

Just in the same way, to start the paperless office process, we must start.

You know your business needs to go paperless, but you’re not sure where to start?

We can relate. We hear from a lot of businesses that they know they should go paperless to reduce business risks and get information to teams quicker.

The businesses that are here for the long-term and staying competitive are moving to paperless. They see the value in buying less paper & ink, storing less paper for archiving, and securely giving access to the documents instantly.

Information moves quicker. People can do their jobs more efficiently.

The business invests a small amount of money into the software and a small amount of time to install and set up. The return on investment is quick. Reducing expenses.
