I Meant To Ask…
Does anyone have insights into making an office as “paperless” as possible? A law office, specifically? Prefereably for smaller rather than larger amounts of money?
In analyzing things, my conclusion is that the biggest obstacle is habits and working comfort, not technology, which just keeps getting better. To me, if everything will be on-screen, and printing is to be avoided, people can’t have 14” or 15” screens, and seven year old computers that were not the height of available specs at the time.
I know nothing about fax servers, but it seems to me that’s going to be one key. Then incomings never go to paper, and outgoings can be faxed without the intermediate step of printing. We already have the Digital Sender that can work with a fax server if you have one, for when there is paper to fax.
Anyway, this should be interesting. They are using the need to do a major upgrade to try to be forward looking and take full advantage of technology, rather than merely reacting.
