KEY FACTS
LACK OF STORAGE SPACE
Paperwork can take up a significant amount of space, and this requirement will only get bigger as the number of documents you accrue grows.
Furthermore, documents will typically need to be stored close to hand so that they can be accessed as quickly as possible. If they are located on another floor or in a different building, you could experience severe productivity losses when retrieving forms.
PRONE TO DAMAGE
Australia is no stranger to natural disasters, so there is a real chance your office - and its documents - could be damaged by a flood, cyclone, bushfire or other extreme weather event. A fire could also wipe out your onsite records.
While less dramatic, documents can also be damaged from the wear and tear of regular handling or people spilling drinks and food on them.
POOR ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS
Using more paper is bad for the environment, which won't do much to boost your company's green credentials.
Many of today's employees want to work for businesses that prioritise sustainability, so you may need to consider environmentally friendly alternatives to attract and retain the best talent.
Investing in an electronic document management system ensures you minimise the amount of paper you waste around the office.
INEFFICIENT DOCUMENT TRANSPORTATION
Transporting documents in a paper-based system is often problematic. While it is possible to fax, courier or deliver files in person, this is slow and inefficient.
This is particularly true if you need to send over numerous pages or folders. With an electronic document management system, users can simply add attachments to an email and send information instantly.
SUPPY COST
One of the biggest drawbacks of paper-based document management systems is the associated costs.
Not only will you need lots of paper - usually in different sizes and shapes - you'll require more printers, stationery and other office supplies each month.
These costs quickly add up and can become a significant expense in larger organisations
LIMITED COLLABORATION
Collaboration on documents is extremely hard when working with paper versions.
If several department heads need to confer on a document, they must have multiple copies printed, make amendments separately and then share their version with each other before pursuing further changes.
Electronic document management systems have a centralised document environment where users can collaborate easily through granted access and tracked changes.
