Taking the progressive step to make a business paperless is an incredible investment that is revolutionising the efficiency of sectors and industries across the board, but it’s one the can seem incredibly daunting if it’s an area a company hasn’t ventured into before.
The benefits of streamlining a business with document digitalisation are obvious, but should a business lack the specialist knowledge and equipment to undertake the task of converting all company documents into digital equivalents, going paperless could mean investing precious time and money into getting ahead of the technological curve that could be spent on growing the business from the inside out.
Naveed Ashraf, Managing Director at Pearl Scan says: “Embracing technology and taking documents digital is an essential part of good modern practice that not only aids in security, productivity, reducing environmental impact and creating a cleaner, tidier workspace, but it doesn’t have to be a move that costs the earth in time or money. We want to make the changeover as smooth as possible for our clients, so we collect documents from them wherever they are in the country, prepare them and scan them, then index and categorize the files exactly as the client wants them.
“We have a wide range of high-tech hardware, OCR processing and software that gives us the ability to transform documents into JPEG, PDF AND TIFF formats. It would just not be cost effective for most businesses to purchase these necessities themselves, and outsourcing the process give you back hours that would be taken away from your business if you were to attempt it yourself.”
