Can Tablet Computers Help Reduce Printing Costs?

ChildNet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is equipping mobile case workers with Android tablets for reading case files that run to hundreds of pages. The hope is the strategy will reduce print costs that the organization's CEO describes as 'a lot of money.'

"As the mobile workforce increasingly uses tablets and smartphones, a nonprofit group hopes to use the devices to reduce paperwork and cut printing costs.

ChildNet, which focuses on child welfare, will use tablets and smartphones to upload and access case files remotely, which could ultimately help cut printing costs, said Emilio Benitez, president and CEO of ChildNet."
