IT'S TIME TO MOVE INTO THE FUTURE! Although buzz phrases such as "big data" and "cloud computing" litter the Internet, there are
few people who consider paperless document management to be a part of the innovative
atmosphere. Although many contemporary business professionals are beginning to realize that
tangible file and record practices are obsolete, some maintain that it still has a place in the modern
world - a somewhat backwards perception.
Is there a particular reason why?
It's somewhat of a surprise to see physical documents littering desk space and filing cabinets
taking up whole work spaces. Chelsea Potter a contributor to Real Business, noted that the
majority of professionals agree that accessing information digitally is much more convenient
than perusing through seemingly endless drawers for a misplaced record, but some have
hesitated. She cited the following reasons as to why some organizations have yet to fully utilize
electronic workflow:
They don't understand the concept. Some perceive document management software to be a
solution that completely eliminates paper, when it reality it simply reduces the amount used,
though significantly.
Companies believe that the system can be implemented and fully integrated with the workflow of
the office overnight. Though the programs are readily deployable, that doesn't mean employees
will be able to acclimate themselves to the new process after two hours of usage.

Many don't realize that not every existing document needs to be transferred into the electronic
option. Workers are intimidated by scanning each and every file within their steel cabinets when
there are probably hundreds, if not thousands of them that can be destroyed.
Well worth the investment
Christian Nofziger, a contributor to The Observer, noted that even high schools have recognized
the benefits of harnessing a document management system by issuing tablets to students.
Although some teachers expressed concerns over pupils being easily distracted by the collection
of gaming apps available on the devices, it's an instrumental step toward reducing paper usage
in institutions. Though utilization of this technology is minimal, many universities find it to be
quite useful.
Nofziger noted that colleges have more confidence in their students' ability to remain focused,
which should motivate many administrators to allow tablet usage. Between April 2012 and June
2012, the University of Notre Dame used 9 million sheets of paper. The source claimed that many
professors still ask students to provide tangible copies of dissertations and others require their
pupils to bring hard copies of materials sent through the Web.
Electronic processing simply provides educational bodies and private companies with a way to
exercise sustainability and cut down on the expenses associated with a paper-filled office.
