The Paperless Office


This can be you.

We are living in a paperless zone at our office and wondering how we could have ever worked any other way. No-one enjoys working in a maze of paper and all the associated problems that come from this.

If you are considering becoming paperless and have some trepidation towards the change, don’t, you will not regret it. All you require is: the willingness, planning, education and the ability to just get on with it.

Simple changes in the use of existing software and implementing technology [inexpensive] all make efficient changes to how information arrives and leaves the office – no more filing or looking for room to store all those files.

Think about the amount of space used at your office, or off-site, to accommodate the storing, the cost of this and then you start to understand the real cost of not making your office paperless.

What we enjoy most about our paperless office is this, we do not mislay or loose important information, with a couple of clicks on the keyboard we are able to retrieve documents; no time spent pouring through dusty old files. The best thing of all is that we have been given TIME, everyone’s favourite, and can spend our working hours carrying out tasks that are more proactive and productive.

If you would like to discuss how we planned and implemented our paperless office please email me [maureenwestern@regionalmedicine.com.au] and I would be very happy to discuss this with you.
