PAPERLESS TRANSACTIONS: THE LAST FRONTIER FOR A

GREEN SOLUTION

The process of adopting a paperless

solution into daily operations can be a

long one, but the efforts aren't

without their own merits. Document

management software can help

organizations eliminate the amount of

paper moving through their offices,

cut down costs and assist in

streamlining tedious business

processes.

Interdepartmental communications can be digitized to ensure they reach their destination

at lightning speed, and even the vital contracts some groups need signed can be scanned

with document imaging hardware to expedite deals and agreements.

As more industries implement their own solutions, some may encounter one of the last

steps to completely transition away from paper: the process of invoice automation.

Transcend borders and obstacles

As more companies and enterprises begin to conduct business with partners overseas,

the need for faster transactions and communications is becoming paramount in a variety

of sectors. An electronic workflow can help organizations remove the barriers imposed by

long distances and conduct operations as if associates were in the next room, not halfway

around the globe.

With partners ordering equipment and products from one another, business to business

transactions are becoming a necessary component of negotiations, according to PYMNTS.

If companies are getting tied up waiting for payments to come in the mail, they could lose

out on valuable revenue and even damage their public reputations.

For enterprises that want to convert to paperless procedures, they don't have to

completely scrap their way of doing things. Organizations can incorporate document

management software into their existing systems to make the transition easier, added

the source.

If companies have to print out bills and send them out in an envelope, any number of

factors can influence its arrival at its destination. Weather and human error are just two

problems that might impede delivery, but with automated billing, organizations can easily

track where their invoices were sent and guarantee they're immediate delivery.

Do you have to sign for that?

One of the last bastions for paper in the office is the requirement of a signature on an

important document. Before the days of modern technology, employees might have

thought it impossible to get the signature of someone in another country the same day.

When key transactions and deals rely on somebody signing his or her name, getting that

autograph can become a primary goal for an organization.

E-signatures are growing in popularity, as many companies begin to recognize the

importance of adding the capability to their paperless solutions. However, making the

feature available isn't the only action groups need to take if they want to see quick results.

It can be very easy for someone to derail the procedure and throw paper into the mix,

asserted TechTarget. If the recipient of a document decided to print it out before signing

it, rather than doing so electronically, organizations may have to scan the item whenever

they receive it to ensure it's added into their systems.

If not, there may be a discrepancy in firms' records, negating all the benefits a paperless

office is supposed to provide. E-signatures make it much more simple for companies to

track documents, reveal who signed them, when and where, added the source. This

reduces some of the liabilities a paper trail has as well as adding an instantaneous speed

in which these transactions can be completed.

When associations attempt to turn themselves away from paper, to do so successfully

requires all encompassing adjustments in every aspect of business to see the most

benefits. Simply embracing a few facets of a paperless solution prevents other advantages

digitizing office materials can offer.
