ITBusinessEdge: Eliminating Paper In Your Small Business
Going paperless makes better sense than ever not only because it helps the environment but because it’s also more feasible than ever thanks to low cost data storage and better solutions for converting atoms to bits.
“Stop what you’re doing right now and take a look around your workstation. Unless you are sitting at a local café or reading this in bed, chances are there are some computer printouts or reports within arm’s length. For some of us, this can add up to quite a lot of paper indeed.
While the ideal of the ‘paperless’ office never quite materialized as originally envisioned, we are at a unique intersection in affordable, yet highly available storage, common document formats and interconnectedness, making it possible to dramatically reduce the role of paper in our offices. For SMBs and enterprises alike, reduced reliance on paper not only saves space or money, but also offers an opportunity to demonstrate environmental responsibility.”
