THE BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC ARCHIVING
Electronic archiving can take a business a step nearer to a paperless office, or at least cut down on the need to store old paper files. The paperless office - promised since the first desktop computers started appearing in the 1980s - has yet to become a reality for most businesses. Despite the increasing use of computers in all types of businesses, a good portion of most day-to-day work is still paper-based. In addition, basic human behaviour works against a truly paperless office: employees want to print documents for more careful study or to bring to meetings.
Despite these challenges, you can drastically reduce the amount of paper documents your business depends on by choosing electronic archiving as part of your document management system. To work towards a paperless office, has to include the electronic archiving of documents that will convert paper records into electronic files.
One of the biggest benefits of electronic archiving is the cost savings in retrieving old paper work. If it takes five minutes to retrieve and replace a paper file and an employee works with ten paper files per day, that's 216 hours a year - over five weeks' time - spent walking files around. Electronic archiving of documents lets employees find and work with documents without the need to leave their desks resulting in saving time, cutting cost and improving efficiency.
Other benefits of electronic archiving include increased security, better disaster recovery protection, environmental benefits and remote access to important business documents.
