Fed-up of filing a mountain of paperwork? Tired of sorting through endless files to find a document? Stressed out because your desk is strewn with paper? We were too, and in true Miles Technologies fashion, we found a solution- the paperless office.
Adopting the practices of a paperless office had several benefits for us, including increasing productivity, making it easy to keep track of documents pertaining to our hundreds of clients, reducing the costs of mailing, shipping and storing paper and most of all it’s great for the environment!
We did however, find it impossible to eliminate paper completely; after all paper is just so versatile- you can scribble on it, dog-ear it, and take it with you anywhere to read in comfort. Keeping paper to an absolute minimum is the real description of our “paperless” office.
Making the change initially took a bit of time and getting used to, but in the four years since the switch, I can see that it has really paid off. Just throwing away the filing cabinets gave us so much extra space!
A good tip to remember is that before making the transition, its important to invest in a good data back-up and archival system. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that all members of the team work towards and get familiar with the paperless goal, to ensure a smooth transition.
