The world spent the last 20 to 30 years or so going paperless. Digitization of paper files and easy-to-use document management systems paved the way for enterprise-wide, industry-wide acceptance of digitization. Even Doris, a stickler for alphabetized stickers, reinforced shelving, and file cabinets that weighed more than smart cars saw the benefit of searchable, shareable digital documents—which are many. 

Document scanning turns paper files into digital documents. Document management is a system that tracks digitized documents, ensuring accountability, transparency, organization, knowledge retention, shareability, and productivity.

Nearly 30% of American companies believe they must go digital to survive. Nearly 90% believe they must do so to remain competitive. But many companies don't have in-house resources to handle digitization themselves. That's where third-party experts come in. Read on to learn how a digitization company can help you right now.

Past practices of keeping large format documents in a hard copy form are quickly going the way of the dodo. In an increasingly digital world, it's getting harder to justify boxes of file folders that take up so much space they need their own storage facility to protect. 

The times are a-changing, and they're changing fast. What used to be standard business practices, like filing all your documents, are now considered wasteful compared to their modern alternatives.

Organizations lose out on 21.3% of their productivity due to problems related to document management.

We are in a digital era where so many business tasks are performed online with the use of applications and software.

Even courier services are being impacted because people can now send and sign legal documents electronically.

Currently, about 95% of business information exists in the form of paper documents. It’s a startling statistic, given the rapid technological advancements in the business world over the last few decades. 

Each year, the global paper usage is about 400 million tons of paper. Using paper in offices is inevitable. However, the growing technology in document management is enhancing the efficiency of this process.
