AIIM WorldPaper Free Day October 28, 2010

AIIM World Paper Free Day • For many years we have heard the mantra of going

paperless. • Business organizations of all sizes and industries of all types

have sought to minimize their paper use and reduce costs and carbon footprint while at the same time increasing operating efficiencies and profitability.

• This is no small task and it requires not only the proper use of technology but also change.

• Change in our Ways of Working (WoW) and change in our corporate culture. It requires change in the way we think.

• This is perhaps the hardest CHALLENGE of all. Going paperless and the change required to get there, these are both areas where AIIM has proven expertise.

AIIM World Paper Free Day • 10 Steps to Help You Go Paperless

1) Use document scanners to convert paper documents to electronic format through document scanning then shred them – if allowed by law and industry – and send the shredded paper for recycling

2) Do not print or copy any documents unless absolutely required. Send all documents via e-mail or electronic fax as the preferred method to your customers.

3) If you do have to print, be sure to spell/grammar check before you print to eliminate reprinting

4) Use Web 2.0 technologies like wikis and blogs for internal communication and collaboration

•


5) Use single source repositories and shared digital workspaces to develop, manage and refine documents like contracts, marketing materials and any other type requiring review and refinement

6) Use web interfaces and forms for online applications and order placement

7) Sign up for e-bill delivery or online billing from your suppliers rather than paper statements, and pay your bills electronically

8) Develop and deliver all promotional materials in electronic form rather than paper using links and downloads for online and thumb drives or CD media at tradeshows and seminars


9) Map, design and manage all business processes electronically. You can begin by mapping the processes and assessing how they can be improved as they are, then address process automation using what you currently own and/or may purchase

10) When a signature is required, use electronic signature tables similar to those used in retail; you can even get them sophisticated enough to capture the unique biometric characteristics of each individual for future comparison if the signature is questioned


Let’s get started !
