Against this backdrop of massive change in information management,
What About Paper?
Per Business Week, June 30, 1975
1975
“Vincent E. Giuliano of Arthur D. Little, Inc.,
figures that the use of paper in business for
records and correspondence should be declining by 1980, ‘and by 1990, most
record-handling will be electronic.’”
Yeah, right.

Organizations continue to print,
copy and fax more than a
trillion pages of office paper each year (Infotrends)

Organizations use paper printouts to
archive 62% of important
documents (CNN, 3-18-2010)
Printable web content will increase
3X by 2012 (The Independent,

“The Future of the Office Document,” InfoTrends/CAP Ventures, January 2005.
“Nice thoughts" alone are not a sustainable business strategy.
This is not how to sell paperless to your organization in tight times.
Why is this so difficult?
3 Reasons
#1
FUD(Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt)
Electronic copies aren’t as acceptable in
court as paper.
Digital image copies of information converted from paper (and microfilm) are
the legal equivalent of their paper counterparts and may be considered as
admissible in evidence as the original paper record in any legal or administrative
proceeding...
(The Legality of Digital Image Copies of Paper Records, Cohasset Associates)
Even with an electronic copy
we can't destroy the
paper original.
Digital image copies, like all other types of copies, are acceptable in any legal or
administrative proceeding regardless of whether the original is in existence or
not ...
(The Legality of Digital Image Copies of Paper Records, Cohasset Associates)
#2Lack of Understanding of the
BUSINESS (not the environmental) benefits
Improved Productivity.
7.5 percent of all documents get lost; 3 percent of the remainder get misfiled (Inc. Magazine)
Companies misfile up to 20 percent of their records (ARMA International)
Risk Reduction.80% of information is still retained on paper (CAP
Venture)
Natural and man-made disasters
Cost Savings.It costs $25,000 to fill a 4 drawer filing cabinet, $2,000
to maintain (futurelawoffice.com)
Average cost of courier - $15
15% of an organizations revenues are spent creating, managing & distributing documents
60% of employee time is spent working with document
#3
Thinking Too Tactically
The Goal is to Prepare Your Organization for the
So-Lo-Mo Revolution
You won’t survive with an elegant digital front-end and paper-clogged processes on
the back-end.
Think business velocity and customer engagement.
