If you follow articles from AIIM (Association for Intelligent Information Management)<\/a> you may have come across the term “paperless company” a few times. Because we understand the importance of the subject, in the post Paperless: what it is and how to take the first steps, we made a general overview of the paperless environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the occasion, we commented on the reasons for having a paperless company and how you can start the transformation in your area and organization as a whole. In this new article I want to complement the topic a little more and bring more ideas to help your business reduce \u2013 and maybe eliminate \u2013 the use of paper.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about paper, many individuals like the way it makes them feel, as it brings a feeling that because it is a physical item, it is something real. For many people, information inside a computer or in the cloud doesn’t seem so real because it’s not so palpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This perception of the real x unreal happens at an unconscious level, and in many of us it is a belief that we do not even know we have. But the fact is that, according to haptic perception, we need to feel with touch to assimilate that such a document exists or that such a contract has really been signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving the field of psychology, a very big barrier to transformation into a paperless company is the simple question “how?”. Every change requires efforts and I understand that it is at this point that the barrier can be great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitioning to a paperless business requires discipline and more work, especially at the beginning. For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
