Paperless office: Myth or Reality?
It is estimated that less than 20% of all records that have traditionally been paper-based have been converted to electronic formats. For example, according to AdvancedMD, only 10% - 15% of medical records are handled electronically.
This tells me that the paperless office is a myth and just a vision... we have a long way to go before we get there.
I found a case study on how a law office in Illinois is moving to a paperless environment. We have helped a few law offices here in town with the same type of conversion. Take a look at the case study titled Lawyers win document case."
So, what do you think about the paperless office? How are you handling it? Is it a reality where you work?
