Campaign "In a few steps to a paperless office".
The IT and software service provider clavis IT from Eastern Switzerland launches a knowledge series on the topic "In a few steps to a paperless office". In loose succession, practical tips are presented on how SMEs can digitalize their document processes step by step.
More than 40 years ago, the concept of the paperless office emerged. Vincent Giuliano of the consulting firm Arthur D. Little propagated in a "Businessweek" article that the use of paper for documents or correspondence would decrease massively in the 1980s and that by the 1990s most documents would be digital. Contrary to his expectations, however, annual paper consumption per capita has increased every year since.
Digitization is now giving new impetus to the paperless office. In a introductory article clavis IT points out that the first step towards a paperless office is the efficient management of documents. Digital transformation is not so much about new ERP systems, new store solutions or the restructuring of business models, but about optimizing internal processes.
In a 7-part blog series clavis IT from Herisau will accompany the readers on the way to a paperless office and give them important hints from their own experience. The first part is dedicated to the legal retention periods of documents. It deals with questions such as: Who is required to retain documents? What must be retained? When does the retention obligation begin? Other topics in the series will be:
- What does "audit-proof" mean?
- Which documents arise and where is great potential
- Start with labor-intensive processes
- Risks of electronic storage
- Our success stories
- Let the last point surprise you!
Also www.organisator.ch will continue to accompany this blog series.
