Green Benefits of Electronic Document Management

In an article on ZDNet.com, a lifelong member of the software/hardware field offers his take on the likelihood of a paperless office in the near future. He presupposes that it's not going to happen to the extent many people expect, but stresses that improving a business's document management systems and reducing paper waste is important nonetheless. He covers some of the technology that makes these steps possible, as well as different ways implementing them will improve your processes.

From ZDNet:

Contrary to many projections, paper documents are not going away. Rather, a new generation of technologies – centering on document capture and routing – is steadily emerging to enable organizations to dramatically reduce the use of paper while increasing productivity, accelerating business processes, improving compliance with regulatory requirements, and strengthening both disaster recovery and “green” business initiatives.
