The new financial year has arrived and the current global economy is still unbalanced due to the pandemic.
It can appear daunting to keep your business moving into the future when so much seems unknown right now.
One way we can help is by putting forward the simple question:
Are you operating a paperless business?
At the time of writing this article, all of Greater Sydney is under stay-at-home orders. All of NSW has been asked to take extra precautions and stay home where possible. All of Australia is on alert and conscious of the situation.
The benefits of going paper-free have been discussed and valued for years. Many starting reasons for going paperless include:
- Environmental impacts
- Streamlining internal systems
- Improved organisation
- Increased ease, and speed, in finding documents

A driving force can also be the money that is saved. Money for the printing machines, toners, power usage, postage, maintenance, and upkeep. Plus the time taken by your employee who handles and files each document. And the time wasted when items are not filed correctly.
As your IT support provider, we also see additional advantages.
First: data security
When everything is online it can be encrypted, locked behind passwords and protected by security software. Audit trails show who has accessed your files and we can set up limited access for your most confidential information.
Second: the ability to work remotely
If you still utilising paper, your employees have limited choice but to arrive at the office each rostered day. This places them, you, extended families, and the community at higher risk of exposure. When operating digitally, we can set up remote access so your staff stay safe and can continue to work just as efficiently as before.
Of course, it does require time and resources to create a paperless business. But once you have done it, you will definitely be glad you did.
And, just in case you need more incentive; your office will look so much tidier and who doesn’t enjoy the sight of an empty in-tray.
