GOING PAPERLESS
Predictions of a paperless society have been circulating for over 40 year and whilst
the concept has come a long way, society has yet to complete the transition and take
advantage of the many benefits to ‘going paperless’.

Global TrendsThough the transition may be slow, overall global trends continue to drive
us towards a paperless world with five notable factors to consider:

in communicating, sharing and tracking via electronic media such as tablet devices and
SMART phones.
Continuous need for
increased workplace efficiency.
A shift towards
knowledge-based economies.
Negative environmental
impacts of urbanisation, pollution and maintaining office
facilities.Growing
number of globally spread
workforces.
PRINTED WORKBOOKS- lead weights?The majority of organisations
continue to distribute hard-copy,
printed workbooks to participants
during face to face [f2f ] training
sessions. Though physical
workbooks deliver tactile and
tangible qualities, the permanent
nature of printed media brings
about it’s own challenges. Workbook
authors struggle to keep the content
of such publications relevant and
up-to-date. Understandably, issues
arise regarding the need to control
text, images, formatting, version
control, file sizes, printing,
binding, distribution
and delivery.
Added to which, costs can escalate
in an on-going manner which then
impacts onto ROI and operational
efficiency.
Training customers demand
their own personal content and
customisation in workbooks and
their training preferences swing
between print and online training.
These demands increase
the complexity of
a training
organisation’s sales cycle, the
expectation in level of service and
delivery is pushed higher and the
maintenance of print materials.
Despite all the extra effort and
commitment, a training company
rarely sees a significant
increase.
E-WORKBOOK- making notes work harderWhite Springs recognises the
effectiveness that f2f training offers
and the need to ensure efficiency in
its ongoing deployment to clients.
With this in mind, our team of experts
has developed DeNotePro, a digital
notebook which, using the best
technology, allows participants of
training to continue expressing and
recording their ideas in a natural way.
e-Workbook is an online application
that works on both Android tablet
and Apple iPad. It looks and functions
like a traditional paper notebook and
keeps what participants find useful
about taking notes. Importantly, it
makes each note ‘smarter’, in more
ways than one.
