Death to Papyrus!

From the minute we discovered we could document information, the trees were doomed! Well, we started by desecrating other surfaces: sand, rocks, you know, anything the caveman could scratch on or pee on.

But I digress. At some point we found out how to ink pulverized wood, and that was it! We stored stories of our proud exploits. We gathered data on people, events, numbers, history, and everything we wanted to keep on the record. We gathered information like we gather all things. These days, we still haven’t broken the habit. And why should we? People accumulate stuff!

Perhaps, nowhere is this accumulation of information more rampant than in the world of business. Regardless of the industry, paperwork is accumulated. But the real question is, “Do we need to accumulate paper just because we need to accumulate data?” Certainly not!

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) technology, available today, makes it too easy to store information without storing paper. It’s good for the environment (especially those poor trees), it’s much cheaper in the long run, and it’s a much more efficient and secure way to store data. So, chant with us, “Long live data! Death to paper!” Hey, it almost rhymes if you put your mind to it.
