Why Go Paperless?

http://www.iste.org/standards/nets-for-administrators

1. Migrating from paper to digital storage: instant

access to information when you need it

2. Standardizing information: getting everything you need the

first time

3. Reclaiming productive space: digital storage maximizes prime

real estate

4. Accessing board insights and decisions: removing

the guesswork

5. Viewing Student performance: document management provides

information on the whole child

6. Managing human resources: gaining a holistic view of

personnel records

7. Managing financial records: payroll, payables, and audits

8. Distributing work effectively: no more waiting

9. Making decisions based on real-time information: using time

wisely

10. Complying with FERPA and HIPAA: no more

missing files
