Go Paperless with Dajon Office Solutions

Many organisations and individuals regard the paperless office as a myth. This is understandable with so many organisations still hugely dependent on the manual processing of forms and documents. Yet in this society we are continually judged by our ability to store, secure and retrieve huge amounts of data.

So why are some organisation still slow to adopt this philosophy? Often it is simply a case of  if it is not broken why fix it and historically the paperless office has been regarded as a costly, unrealistic, unachievable aspiration where the benefits have not justified the cost, particularly the costs of implementation. Users still like to print documents, right? Well not if the sign-off and approval processes are all electronic as well! Changing the environment  from manual to electronic will change the working habits.

The real point is that the concept of the paperless office need not be applied universally across an organisation, you can start by addressing specific business processes such as:

• Invoice processing
• Sales order processing
• Expenses
• Claims handling
• Forms e.g. credit application forms

Delivering some quick wins and demonstrating how the paperless office concept can be applied in the real world, delivering real business benefits.

Think about the advantages of going paperless

The advantages of an electronic system are significant:

• Improved collaboration multiple people have access to the same document
• Speed of access it takes seconds to search and find a document online Securely
• Controlled access
• Audit trail who accessed it and when?
• Lifecycle management how long do you need to retain the data?
• Cost of storage electronic vs physical
• Compliance are you meeting all of the legislative requirements for our industry relating to our documentation?

We automatically expect to have immediate access to data whenever required and there is ever increasing commercial and regulatory pressure for organisations to manage sensitive documentation and information securely regardless of how it is held, either digitally or as a hard copy.

The technology, the tools and the industry knowledge have advanced significantly and this means that the aspiration of a paperless office is very real and achievable and in many cases the implementation costs can be justified based on the efficiencies that it delivers.

Dajon can demonstrate that the paperless office is no longer a myth, it is a reality. At Dajon we specialise in helping organisations transition from costly paper orientated systems and processes to a digital system and delivering the full benefits of a paperless office solution.
