Searching for the Paperless Office

There's an interesting article available on CIO.com about the ever-elusive paperless office concept. The piece focuses on Xerox's document management off-shoot, but I believe that the statistics enclosed (only 17% of doctors use digitalized medical records, etc.) make a strong point. For all the talk about cutting back on paper and making the workplace more streamlined and efficient - most companies still aren't there. Employing a professional document management provider like GRM can drastically cut back on your waste, increase the amount of time your employees spend on important tasks and decrease the amount of money you pay on office supplies.

I'll end with a perfect example from CIO:

John M. Kelly, a vice president at Xerox Global Services, says that companies could save exponential amounts of money by digitizing many of these records and decreasing the amount of print devices needed in each office. Xerox recently worked with KeyCorp, a financial services company, to cut its load of printers, fax machines, copiers and scanners from 10,000 to 3,500. They have decreased the amount of paper output, and he expects KeyCorp to save $6 million over the next few years.
