Organisations have become complacent about paper, storing it out of sight and out of mind. Many are already scanning paper content, but few have recently examined the new compliance dynamics and cost factors to determine the true overhead and risks of managing paper records much less the potential return on investment, or ROI, that might be available. So organisations continue to suffer the weight of paper when advances in technology can enable them to capture electronic content in its native forms and to digitise paper source documents. Such technology can not only reduce costs and risks, but also provide greater visibility into the various business processes core to many organisations. Technologies such as electronic records management systems, forms recognition, e-mail management software and business process management. These well-established ECM technologies provide tremendous productivity gains, a rich set of metadata for auditing and reporting, and significant savings opportunities all while helping organisations better meet todays compliance requirements.
