Paper to PCs to Tablets: Process Revolution
Paper-based content clogs up processes
Masks workflow Adds physical delays Limits flexibility
Paper-based content
They work OK with paper, so we leave them that way
We have evaluated removing paper from some of our processes
We have one or two of the most obvious processes paper-free
We have a number of paper-free processes and may do more
We actively look at every process with a view to driving out paper

Paper-Free ProcessesHow would you describe your progress towards eliminating paper from your business processes?
N=420©AIIM 2012
A third of small and mid-sized companies and
22% of the largest have yet
to adopt any paper-free processes.
Only 20% of any size orgs pro-
actively evaluate all processes for
driving out paper
Lack of management initiatives or mandates to reduce it
Staff prefer paper for handling/reading/notes
We need physical signatures on paper
Some staff feel paper provides a more reliable/auditable/accessible record
Processes are too variable or unpredictable
Not cost-effective to provide suitable scanning/capture/workflow
Takes too long to create or update electronic workflows
Everyone knows how to use a paper form
Easier to involve others inside and outside the organization using paper
0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50%
Paper-Free ProcessesWhy do you think there is still paper in so many business processes? (Max TWO)
N=420©AIIM 2012
It’s more of a management thing than a staff thing…
…although staff still like using paper and feel it’s
more reliable and accessible.
Plus that old signature
thing.
Paper-Free ProductivityHow much more productive do you think the administrative staff in your organization would be (or are) if their processes were work-flowed, using scanned forms and documents, with automated data capture?

Paper-Free – Customer Response

“Although removing the paper from processes can dramatically improve process productivity and speed of response, most companies have so far only addressed the most obvious candidates.”

We have developed a mobile capture application for a specific customer-oriented process (e.g. mobile check/cheque deposit)
We offer a mobile capture application to our customers, and it is used for capturing a variety of customer documents
Our organization is investigating the use of mobile capture applications for our customers

N=333©AIIM 2011
Audit your process to see where paper slows throughput, adds process steps or restricts transparency and reporting
Examine your customer response mechanisms to see if paper is slowing things down
Evaluate the latest technology for capturing data from forms and invoices
Brainstorm how the capabilities of modern mobile devices could transform your processes
Recommendations
Process revolution is NOW Productivity gains and speed of response
improvements can be dramatic Technology is underwriting the revolution Governance needs to be in place.
