There are many reasons why paper shouldn’t be part of the future of any successful business, big or small. Paper document management systems often become a bottleneck, slowing down the day-to-day operations, while adding significantly to the overall administrative cost.Paper documents are location bound, making management and distribution time-consuming and expensive. Paper documents cannot be integrated into computer applications and are often misplaced, temporarily or permanently. They get damaged, destroyed or lost, often having detrimental effects on business continuity and success:
- It can have an extreme and negative influence on an audit.
- It can compromise good corporate governance, compliance, and influence stakeholder perceptions.
- The loss of critical documentation could expose the business to commercial and legal risks.
- Lost documents could result in dissatisfied clients, or even worse, lost clients.
- Lost revenue due to missing orders or delivery note confirmations
