The Importance of a Paperless Office

Regardless of your industry, it is simple to see the technology advances around us. Recently the New York Times reported that airplane pilots are replacing flight manuals with digital versions via iPads. This is physically lighter, quicker to update, and easily searchable. A digital or paperless office allows businesses to eliminate (or alleviate) file cabinets and storage issues. While this seems very ideal, things like computer crashes and software glitches required companies to maintain both physical and digital copies of everything. For certain industries, government regulations require paper archives as well.

Crashes and glitches are at times inevitable but with advances in data security and backup systems, paperless offices are much more reassuring and often become a necessity. At CMIT we urge businesses to have a data security and backup recovery plans in place in case of emergency. We know the importance of going digital and how it can save both physical storage space and money. With the latest technology, there are open opportunities for enhanced efficiency, convenience, and cost savings.
