Global business research firm Thomas Reuters recently released a case study that illustrates the highly complex process of going paperless in the workplace. The study was based on a fictional, sample accounting firm that employed 13 and its three-year plan to create an electronic records management system.
While three years seems like a long time to transition to a paperless office, the length of time is actually reasonable for a document-heavy accounting firm that is making the conversion itself — including designing consistent guidelines for storing, organizing and retrieving documents, not to mention the physical act of scanning every document — all while keeping up with the daily demands of running a business.
In other words, going paperless is a demanding task that requires a lot of time that most organizations cannot afford to take. In these situations, it makes sense to hire a records management expert like Pacific Office Automation.
