Revealing the hidden costs of paper in small business operations

You are invited to join Resource One and ColumbiaSoft for a Lunchtime Webinar on December 14.

Did you know that the average office worker is said to use a sheet of paper every 12 minutes? Although a seemingly mundane fact, the consequences add up.

By some estimates, if businesses in the U.S. were to cut their paper usage by 10%, it could eliminate as much as 1.6 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions – the equivalent of taking 280,000 cars off the road.

Increased environmental awareness is leading many to consider ways to reduce their carbon footprint and go paperless. It’s an aspiring resolution for the New Year. However, paperless for sake of the environment is not what drove most early adopters to electronic document management technology years ago. It is the many lesser-known hidden costs of paper that shifted companies towards paperless business processes long before global warming became a rallying cry.

New technology makes document management software affordable by all, and deployable in nearly any office circumstance. It’s making offices of all kinds not only greener, but also more efficient workplaces.

Whether it’s environmental concerns or business profits, a key to understanding the value of an electronic document management system is identifying all the costs associated with existing paper-based processes. Everything from the obvious storage and mailing, to the less tangible calculations surrounding risk when information is lost or decisions are made in error.

Eat your lunch at the desk and join us, along with document management software experts from ColumbiaSoft, for an online 30-minute lunchtime webinar on December 14. We’ll reveal many of the hidden costs of paper, and how eliminating paper streams in business processes in the coming year will improve productivity and accuracy for years to come. We’ll also take a brief tour of ColumbiaSoft’s Windows-integrated document management system so you can see first-hand how paperless alternatives can have a positive impact on the bottom line.
