Going Paperless – Is It Worth the Hassle? You be the judge!

Posted by Donna Neff | Neff Law Office

March 12, 2009

It has been 2 ½ years since I took the plunge into the paperless office.  Before deciding to go paperless, I had considerable concern about what it would cost, the technical knowledge that might be required, and whether my staff would support or resist the idea.  Would the potential benefits be worth the time and expense? 

Having gone paperless I have to say it was one of the best practice management decisions I have ever made and has been worth it on every level.   The benefits for me have been numerous – no more wasted time searching for documents, dramatically reduced need for storage space and the associated costs, reduced salary cost in part due to the efficiencies of reduced paper handling (when one staff member resigned, I didn't replace her),  the ability to access  documents from anywhere.  Going paperless is also an environmentally smart thing to do.

To learn how I did it, join me and Nancy Duhon at our ABA TechShow session on April 2.  I am excited about attending ABA TechShow and sharing my thoughts and ideas with you about going paperless.  Like me, you can do it!
