We’ve talked about the future of the “paperless office” for years, but what is really possible? How much of that vision can be accomplished out-of-the-box versus expensive third-party tools and consultants? How will Microsoft’s roadmap help you achieve this vision?
What are we talking about today?

Developing Your Strategy
• Reducing paper usage is an acceptable goal…but not a strategy
• Map out your primary workloads• Identify opportunities for optimization
Workflow Improved UI Forms More social capability Tools and solutions
What is your strategy?
Shame people into compliance – track how many pages are being printed per person, track via leaderboardMake it difficult to print – have your IT team setup all systems to print to PDF or OneNote as the defaultReplace physical signatures with digital signaturesUtilize internal blogs and wikis as primary sources of knowledge sharingGet rid of the fax machine – replace with PDF formsGet a bigger monitorUse an online fax service for customers who need paper
Tactics to consider
Eat your own dog food -- Build a culture of digitizing content, articles, literature before sharing
Invest in OCR (optical character recognition) software that can convert PDFs into a searchable format or Word documents
Move repeatable processes to mobile applications, and give everyone a smartphone
Know your shared storage options – use online storage
Use shared OneNote for meetings
Invest in more social collaboration capabilities
