PAPERLESS SOLUTIONS BENEFIT COLLEGES

Small businesses aren't the only

organizations that use a lot of paper

and stand to gain from document

management software. Many

universities are also beginning to

understand the benefits of

paperless solutions after

confronting the costs associated

with printing everything from class

schedules to course expectation

packets.

Document Imaging has the potential to cut down the waste in large sectors that service

many people, enabling savings to accumulate quickly over time. There are a number of

reasons why colleges should move away from paper making things easier not just for

administrative workers at schools, but for students as well.

Finding the right motivation

While not ever single document can always be kept in digital format, there are many

procedures eliminating physical materials can positively impact, expediting lengthy

processes and embracing more direct methods of communication.

While many universities are interested in going green to help their public perceptions and

reduce the sizeable amounts of paper that move through campuses, most college officials

are more interested in the savings their institutions will receive by sliding away from paper

and the amount of time freed up by electronic workflow, according to GreenBiz.

The University of Oregon was able to save approximately $200,000 by converting from

paper reviews of classes and faculty into scanned copies. In addition, the University of

Washington's digital admissions process prevent 30,000 pieces of mail being sent, added

the source.

As technology with similar eco-friendly purposes is also developed, college campuses and

businesses alike can better position themselves for the digital age. Even the thick text

books students were once forced to carry around are being cut out of the traditional

scene. Scanning hardware allows attendees to use digital copies of learning materials to

save all the paper that normally goes into printing textbooks.

The popularity of e-readers makes it easier than ever for students and employees to carry

around and store all of their materials in a small devices. As paperless solutions become

more widespread, the number of gadgets and systems designed to help complement the

transitions are only going to increase as well.

This can help organizations adopt their paperless alternatives much more quickly and

assist employees in accessing all the files they need wherever they are for improved

convenience as well as cost reductions.

How paperless solutions can benefit large institutions

Administrative offices are busy places at most universities. Both undergraduates and

graduates visit to hand in various forms, collect reimbursement checks and much more,

which all involve paper in some way or another. These locations are often filled with

sensitive data about all the students enrolled at the college, making school officials

develop some kind of way to ensure such information is secure.

The limits of a lock on a filing cabinet only go so far, but paperless solutions have an even

deeper level of security. When organizations implement document management

software, they can customize the sophistication of security to a much greater depth, stated

GISuser. Whether employees add encryption to all the records or simply store all the vital

data in another safe location, eliminating paper from this key office on universities can be

very advantageous.

The same types of benefits can be applied to any businesses that accept paperless

solutions too, particularly in the human resources departments. The number of areas with

which paperless solutions can be applied provides large organizations with the means

necessary to become more flexible in their industry. As more pivotal processes move to

the digital landscape, businesses will require the tools to help them move all of their paper

documents into cyberspace.
