The Paperless Office Exists With Document Imaging

document imagingSpace is hard to come by in an office. Every corner of your desk winds up with a purpose of its own, whether it’s a place for your pens or a spot for your coffee mug. And your desk suffers from some serious clutter sometimes. That happens. There are notes and inter-office memos to read and take care of and when you are done you sometimes forget to put them in the garbage. Or sometimes you need to keep them for a few weeks or longer.

Think about what it would be like if there were no paper in your office. A paperless office. Where email and document imaging ruled the roost. That would clear up those heavy bins full of paper and records and folders and tree-derived products. And it would give you that much more space. Which would be welcome indeed.

The above is  a potential reality, and you don’t have to choose between any red or blue pills to realize it. All you do is call your document imaging  company and hop on the wagon. Pretty soon your office will be devoid of paper thanks to scanning services. And with all that free space you’ll have plenty to do.

Document Scanning For The Environment

Look we all know that we have to do more for the environment. We recycle our bottles and cans, we have a separate unit for cardboard and paper. We try not to let the water run too long during our morning showers, but sometimes you need a standing up nap. We turn out lights when we leave the room and we use our air conditioners moderately when the summer arrives. We are environmentalists and we really care.

We also save paper. One great way to save paper is to turn all your documents into PDF files with a document scanning service. With all of your important documents turned into digital files they are easily distributed and reproduced without tearing down a couple of rain forests. Paper will never go away completely and it has it’s place, but can you sincerely tell me that every copy you make is needed? Can you even tell me that every copy is used at all? Probably not.

With document imaging everyone gets to have a copy of your company cook out menu and invitation but no one needs to have stacks of paper everywhere. The uncluttering will make everyone feel good and the decrease in paper use will make the planet a little happier too.

Scanning Medical Documents

If you work in a medical facility that is still using paper folders as its main form of information storage, you should definitely offer to go “paperless.” By scanning medical records your office would be able to enjoy some benefits that were unheard of just a few years ago. And you can score points with your boss by being the first to mention a process that will inevitably happen. Here are the top five reasons your doctor needs to have digital records of his patients:

  • Digital copies allow for better security. You are able to see if someone accessed or simply viewed the files.
  • Medical records scanning does not cost as much as it used to.
  • Eliminating paper in the office declutters the working space.
  • If you want, you can grant access to patients at any time.
  • You can improve data efficiency. It will suddenly become easier to manage information in the office.

Medical facilities that have started using digital data are working better and faster. No misplaced files around the building. Everyone who needs to access information simply logs in and reviews it immediately. Offer to be the person who leads the transition project (if you want a nice change from the routine). Even if you don’t become part of the digitizing process, you will still be credited with the idea. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

Time to go digital

Filescan Solutions and Portable Document Format

I consider myself to be relatively computer-savy. I would rate myself above par when grading myself against other member of my generation. In fact, if we’re comparing me to my grandparents, I’m a regular Steve Jobs.

One of the most widely used electronic formats anywhere, especially in reference documents and research materials, PDF files have a series of advantages.

These advantages include, but are not limited to, being cross platform, ultra printable, and being more concise than your average document formats. It’s no secret either; over 20 million PDF files are  present on the World Wide Web today.

The Benefits of Document Imaging: Part II

document scanLast week, we discussed two of the advantages of document imaging: cost efficiency and disaster recovery. This week, we’ll talk about the added benefits of security, easy access and environmentalism.

Security: You might not think you’re at risk of things like identity theft, outside competition, disgruntled and vengeful employees and employee theft, but the truth is they’re always a possibility. Document management systems, like the ones devised by FileScan Solutions, can provide several methods of security, including:

  • Multiple levels of password-protected access for groups and individuals
  • Encryption of document contents
  • Audit trails showing who has accessed or updated documents

Access: It’s easier than ever to allow your employees to work in a paper-free environment, thereby allowing them to work from virtually anywhere. It also allows any number of employees to access the same file at any give time — whereas you could find yourself making endless copies of a certain document just so all your employees can look at it.

A sense of well-being: By going paperless and using document scanning services, you’ll be helping yourself, but you’ll also be helping the environment. Paper production uses up valuable resources, as well as releases harmful toxins into the environment. Doing everything online is super eco-friendly!
