The paperless office is little like a unicorn: beautiful, exciting—and never seen before. Even if your office is working toward becoming paperless, you’ve probably already seen how difficult it is to divorce yourself completely from paper.
The good news is, there are a few easy changes you can make that will reduce your dependence on paper. Even a small reduction could make a significant difference.
How Technology Can Reduce Your Dependence on Paper
There’s good news for businesses: Although you may not be able to completely eliminate paper from your office, there’s a good chance you can reduce your usage enough to make a dent. Here are the technologies and solutions that can help.
Mobile Apps
How often do your employees make copies or send memos when they could be using a digital option? Most of those employees have a computer in their pocket: a smartphone or even a tablet. With mobile technology, you can send memos, scan receipts to email, access documents through cloud-based document management systems, and more. Make sure your company is fully utilizing the power of mobile technology to reduce your reliance on the printed page.
Managed Print Services
One of the easiest and fastest ways to reduce your printing costs and paper usage is to have a detailed printing strategy. Without managed print services, it’s incredibly difficult to manage your printing costs or make your print environment more efficient.
