The Future of a Paperless Workplace
It's the year 2021 and we still depend on papers. Should we call ourselves old-fashioned then? Have we grown so accustomed to it that shifting away seems like an impossible thing to do.
But at the same time, it doesn't make sense don't you think? Technology evolvement is as spectacular as ever and yet we rather have certain documents printed on pieces of paper instead of storing them on our magnifico, 'can't-live-without' technological gadgets.
So why is it this way? The answer to that isn't complicated at all – papers are reliable. It can never be hacked nor get corrupted in any way possible. Well, some may argue – papers could also go missing or even be photocopied. But let's be real, the level of trust you have on that piece of paper is way more than the many soft copies you store on your laptops. True or false?
10,000 sheets: That's how much paper an average office employee prints each year – equivalent to a huge 45ft tall tree worth of paper. Tropical rainforests cover huge areas of land in Malaysia, but that doesn't mean we should take advantage of that, and these 10,000 sheets printed eventually end up as wastelands.
What is the other alternative to this - Digital transformation. Here's why;
| Aspect | Papers | Digital |
|---|---|---|
| Costing | Papers are cheap, but printers, inks, maintenance and servicing are nowhere near cheap. | Save significantly on costs by having everything done digitally. |
| Long-lasting | Papers can be kept a long time, but accumulate into cabinets filled with excessive documents. | Cloud storage keeps all your documents seamlessly and safely stored. |
| Practicality | Sticking to a paper policy risks being left out amongst competitors. | A future-proof, paperless workplace keeps you ahead as more companies embrace digital transformation. |
