Improve Productivity by Balancing Print and Digital Processes

We are in the midst of a digital revolution—paper is losing its luster and digital is now king. But, while the digital age comes with promises of increased productivity and improved workflows, it can also be precarious. As we delve further into the digital landscape, it is imperative that you have the right business solution to guide and protect you.

Balancing Your Business

With the advent of more and more digital solutions, paper remains in limbo. Some industry leaders are of the “out with the old, in with the new” school of thought, while others take a more cautious approach. Claiming that paper no longer serves any purpose it too far-reaching of a blanket statement. With a few exceptions, most companies benefit from a smart balance of both. As you transition to an electronic file system, you will still find a need for—and see the value in—paper and print.

Protecting Print

If you are in the process of moving toward predominantly digital business practices, but still have the need for print, managed services can help you remain organized and productive.

With so much pressure to go paperless, many organizations overlook the opportunity to retain a print fleet, while cutting costs and increasing security. Rather than taking a sweeping measure to absolve print, balancing your print program with a digital solution will not only increase productivity, but it will also save you money and reduce paper waste.

Yes, you can be efficient and eco-savvy while still producing print documents. It's all about implementing the most appropriate business management solution for your specific needs and budget.

Taking Stock

Since so many enterprises waste paper and money with their print measures, the best first step is an assessment. Take stock of how much you are printing, how much paper you consume, and how much money you spend. Your cost analysis must include everything print-related—devices, software, supplies, service, and maintenance. Now, determine how much you actually need to print and where you can shift to digital workflows. A comprehensive assessment and overview of all of your practices is the best first step toward balancing your print and electronic document solutions, reducing costs, and improving productivity.
