Adapt the New Trend Go PaperlessThe world is advancing at a maddening speed and our usage of paper is nothing less than crazy. We have books and magazines, bills, various credentials, and what not. Eventually, all of them will take a toll on the environment and there will be no turning back, literally. So, how about going digital for all our paper needs? Yes! I’m talking about document scanning.

Document scanning converts ordinary paper documents into constructive and easily reachable digital files. I say this because over a period of time, paper documents become difficult to manage and store as well as are more expensive than electronic documents. The process is pretty easy. All you have to do is to give your paper documents to the concerned company and they will scan it with a device and will convert it into an image. Let us understand the many advantages of digital documents.

When you have electronic documents it helps to cut down the costs on printing and other operational costs.

It makes it a lot easier to sort, file, and retrieve documents.

It saves you ample room by not occupying your storage space. Your documents are safe and secure i.e. they are not prone to

tearing, weather change, or being misused. You have data security in the form of passwords, access codes,

backups and permissions profiles. They can be accessed and retrieved in a matter of seconds from

anywhere in the world.

Exciting, isn’t it? Now, read what all can be converted with the help of document scanning or can be done online without the use of paper.

Bills: Technology has made so many things simple and convenient. For instance, paying bills, you don’t have to stand in long queues or wait for your turn. It is not new, it is found everywhere around the work. If truth be told, some companies are even charging for paper statements. So, set up an online account access with your bank and save a few bucks.

Text files and other documents: Have you noticed, we take print outs of several documents like contracts, release forms that require a signature? It gets funnier when after signing we give it back to scan and back as an electronic text file. In cases like these wouldn’t it be nice to use one of the several maps that lets you sign without having to waste paper? Therefore, make the switch and make things easier for you and others around you.

Ebooks: We have always and continue to be fond of books, how about switching to ebooks for all our future book needs? They require very little space, are easier to pack, portable, and more often than not cheaper than hard bound books. Just imagine, you can read your

favourite books and magazines online as and when you want without having to shell out a lot of money for monthly subscriptions.

Paper usage creates millions of dead trees every year. Thus, for the benefit of environment, yourself, and others around you cut down the usage of paper or recycle it as and when needed. Living an eco-friendly lifestyle is very simple; it only takes a new way of thinking.
