The paperless office

You must have heard the joke about the paperless office by now. Why is it a joke? Well ... look around you! Unless you're one of a rare few, can you honestly say that you use less printer paper, fax paper, envelopes and 'post-it' notes than you did five, or even ten years ago?

Rob Heymink, managing director of Access Office Systems offers these tips for promoting simple improvements in everyday business practices -

Get Filing

Get your filing system into good shape - when your staff has confidence they will be less inclined to "make a copy for themselves."

Retain documents such as invoices on disc (ensuring that you will be able to read this data for the ensuing seven to ten years - or up to eighty in the case of a trust).

Printing protocols

Set printers and copiers to print on both sides as default

Share one master copy of a document and edit the draft on a single circulating copy

Adjust page settings (margins, fonts) to reduce pages in drafts

Bookmark web pages instead of printing them out
