How to eliminate paper in your company’s document management with KOMI Doc

Filing folders and reams of paper never seem to be enough in your office. The printing equipment is often taken up by employees in Accounting or Treasury, who have to print out almost every document. Are these scenarios familiar to you?

You are likely to see one more scenario in your organization: printing the invoices you receive via e-mail to add to the paper archive in Accounting. Sure, you still receive many paper invoices; but we also believe that you receive more and more via e-mail.

And in your Human Resources department, are your employees’ records properly and securely filed? Do they still print out all the resumes and letters they evaluate for every recruitment, even if they receive hundreds of applications?

If these processes are part of daily practices in your company, it’s because excessive paper dictates the pace of your work, and you may not yet know what to do to change. We give you the incentive you need: here we explain the differences between a physical and digital file, and how having a digital file will reduce operating costs in your company and increase your productivity.

Say goodbye to the age of paper – or at least the age of waste – and embrace the advantages of digitization with a document management system.

The biggest fear: legal (non)compliance

Due to the strict regulations that businesses are subject to, small and, medium-sized companies fear that they will become non-compliant if they make changes to traditional document management. Many SMEs still believe they must have a physical, paper-based accounting archive, continuing to print out all their invoices and store them in files and on shelves, believing they are thus complying with all the legal requirements.

The obligation to keep all invoices on paper was, until recently, one of the biggest obstacles to companies’ digital transition. Know, however, that it is now possible to almost completely shift your company’s document management to the digital world – and to do so in absolute compliance with all legal requirements.

New legislation around the world is even encouraging the adoption of an electronic invoicing and filing system, which allows companies to reduce costs and stimulates the implementation and use of new technological tools.

The best way to stay compliant when digitizing document management is to reproduce perfect, legible, and intelligible images of the original documents, without loss of resolution and information. It is essential to guarantee their consultation and reproduction on paper or other electronic support.

What is a document management system?

Among the technological tools that allow the creation of digital or electronic archives is document management systems. We not only speak about solutions to manage invoicing, the heavyweight of document management but also to efficiently manage all types of documents in the life of organizations.

It may not be possible to completely eradicate paper from your daily life, and so a true document management solution interlinks a physical archive with the creation of a digital archive. What you will discover is that implementing such a solution will allow you to take on almost completely digital management – not only of document administration but also of the document information itself.
