Going Paperless in Detroit

Going Paperless? Avoid These Pitfalls And Help Your Detroit Business

It’s our goal to help you make a well-informed decision. Use this checklist before you encounter the pitfalls associated with converting to a paperless office. 

Digital Documents are Easier to Use

Indexing makes finding digital documents easy. If it takes you forever to find a file in your current document management system, a paperless office allows you to find what you need with a quick keyword search and distribute documents with one click.

Hiring a Document Scanning Service Might not be an Effective Solution for your Business—Yet

Keep up-to-date on all the different items that you can consider for a paperless conversion project to make life easier.  There are lots of steps involved in a document scanning & conversion project- make sure the system you’re migrating to is as functional or more functional than your existing DMS.  
Here are a few things you should consider:

• Offsite document storage for inactive files
• Other items needed to make the system functional and optimal with existing management systems
• Upgrades to existing computers in your network
• Ongoing costs for scanning active files and new hard-copy documents you create

Although most or all of these items aren’t required, each one offers functionality that can help you manage your documents better. It’s also important to have a good idea of how many documents you want to convert- the more documents you have, the more your project will cost.
