FROM THE MAIN HALL

March is usually regarded as the start of spring cleaning. But cleaning in and of itself doesn't rid one of clutter. A more ideal solution after cleaning is finding ways to make sure that we don't accumulate more clutter.

Most offices use obscene amounts of paper for their day-to-day operations. And sadly most of that ends up becoming clutter and going to waste.

But waste isn't the only concern. Proper data security doesn't only affect your digital information, it also affects  your physical data. 

Moving toward a paperless office you can create a more secure document handling process while significantly reducing waste. 

Maybe not all processes can be translated into a paperless one, but for the most part you can implement better (and faster) controls and processes by ditching printed documents.

Call us at 519.489.0646 or email us at info@keepitdefended.com to see how we can help reduce your paper clutter with a paperless documentation system.

Until then, stay safe,

CEO

BENEFITS OF TRANSFORMING INTO A PAPER-FREE OFFICE

Going paperless at your office by digitalizing your documentation is a huge step. Although it’s not easy for many businesses to transfer the entirety of their paperwork electronically, you can start with small and shift slowly. It involves numerous benefits, such as lower costs and higher efficiency after digitalization.

In a competitive market, cutting down on expenses and enhancing productivity is an arduous task. You can accomplish these tasks easily by going paperless. 

The availability of advanced technological tools is making it easy to move your documentation online. If you are still confused about going paperless at your office, consider these benefits.

Prevail a Better Organization

Tracking and maintaining papers manually is a time-consuming task. Your employees may find it intimidating to handle all clutter and mess when it comes to documents. This becomes even tougher when you are running a large-scale operation. Paper documents increase the risk of huge errors and blunders.

Going paperless will streamline your management and organizing tasks so your employees can channel concentration towards high-priority tasks. This avoids tedious paper hunts. You will face a lower chance of human errors and mistakes by introducing coherence and proficiency in the workplace.

Transfer the Information Easily

Numerous available tools enable you to generate digital invoices and quotations.

Hence, your employees can instantly share relevant details without incurring printing and postage expenses. Marketing and accounting teams can communicate information in real-time and make adjustments according to their clients’ needs. Employees can easily search through old documents with a few clicks. They can arrange documents by date, clients, serial number, and nature of documents. 

Enhance the Security

Even though cyber-attacks are frequent, digital documents have become more secure. Electronic records are easier to render through encryption.

You can control access to specific documents and manage security levels. Printed documents require a lot of space, and controlling access is not possible. Documents are also prone to fire and water damage. You can double up digital efforts with backup and cybersecurity.

Lower the Costs

When you transform documents digitally, you improve the process’s efficiency and lower expenses.

Digital transformation offers you to store a large volume of paperwork, saving a lot of storage space. Moreover, digitalization will reduce the cost of ink, printers, paper, employee time, and space to store the documents.

The most important benefit of going digital with your paperwork is that you save employee time. They can perform additional tasks instead of storing, managing, and searching for documents.

Until next time, have an awesome month!
