It’s no secret that we live in an increasingly paperless society, so it only makes sense for businesses to follow suit and ditch the paper heavy processes which are often inefficient, expensive, and unreliable. Little do these businesses know, but transitioning to a digital, paperless means of operation will streamline their workflows, save money and ensure that their operations become more efficient.

In fact, there have already been studies carried out by AIIM that suggest that companies are already seeing a decrease in paper and photocopying, so it would seem that now is as good a time as any to take the plunge and adopt an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system. No we’re not suggesting that businesses not allow a single trace of paper in their buildings, but more than likely there are certain areas and processes within a business that rely heavily on paper. Focusing on decreasing paper in these areas is a good place to start.

Although many businesses have not fully grasped the benefits of implementing a paperless and digital office strategy, those that have invested in an ECM system have and will continue to reap the benefits that include:

• Enhanced work space
• Increased productivity
• Lowered costs
• More eco-friendly

The above mentioned benefits far outweigh the initial investment of an ECM solution. In fact, many businesses realize a full Return On Investment (ROI) within the first year and a half of implementation. After that, it becomes nothing but an efficient tool and cost saver.
