Paper
Document VS.
Digital Document
Paper Documents retrieval requires a person to physically get up and
wolk to a designated area, open a drawer and flip through pages and
folders to find the approriate file and pull it. Then return back to
their desk. This takes a significant amount of time each time this
action is required.
Digital Document is easily retrived right from your desktop. Information
can be shared with others in your group, another department or outside
vendors. Files can be sent electornically via email, ftp, filesharing
eliminating shipping costs or it can be mailed in a media format. File
storage space is greatly reduced if not eliminated, freeing up valuable
square footage. Duplicate or backup files can be secured offsite to
avoid disaster scenerios. And all files can be access protected.
All this is neatly laid out the following chart.
