Given the advantages of a paperless office, why is society not yet there?
The answer is deceptively simple: There is no substitute on the market today that is as portable, durable, simple, and accessible as paper for every aspect of a businesses functions. In fact, contrary to the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions’ study, the consumption of paper per capita in the United States has grown 43% since 1980, according to the American Forest and Paper Association. This works out to about 2 pounds of paper per person per day (Hilgen, 2000).
The transformation to paperless is not a painless undertaking. It requires carefully thought out implementation schedules from management and unbridled commitment from the entire organization. Paper is a medium which everyone can use and to which everyone has access. Why transform a business into using a medium of information exchange that is not comfortable to everyone? Another contributor to the slow transformation to the paperless office is the lack of standardization, particularly in relation to electronic-based office forms as well as digital signature solutions.
Business communications, documents and forms work well with digital signatures and flow simply eliminating the need for paper documents.
A 3-STEP PROCESS For Digital Signature Solutions

Signatures are a very common reason people print out documents. Many digital documents get printed out, to truly be a paperless office we have to be more innovative. Typically when we send a PDF to a client for a s and they will print it off, sign it and fax it back. There are several ways to handle this. You can’t expect everyone to have their signature scanned in so they can just add it to a PDF and send it back to you. The ideal solution is for people to use digital certificates and digital signatures, but that requires a bit of technical knowledge to set up. Other options include online digital signature and approval products.

With budget reductions affecting most businesses, there is an urgent need to improve efficiency and reduce costs. One of the easiest areas to reduce costs is those associated with printing countless documents that usually have to be scanned at a later date.
The slow rollout of digital signatures—despite laws clearly establishing their parity with wet signatures—exemplifies the inefficiencies still plaguing the digital world. E-signatures are a key step in executing a document management strategy. "With an e-signature, a document can be turned around in minutes not days." No matter how good the rest of the online experience is, “anytime you need an ink signature you trip yourself up by falling into the paper mode.” Nicole Kealey, Adobe
When people think of a paperless office, they usually focus on how to store documents in a digital form. This is important, but it misses the real point of going paperless. The real benefit comes from creating documents in way that they are digital for the entire lifetime. Once a document gets printed out, you’ve broken the paperless life cycle.
THE GREEN BOTTOM LINE
Going green is almost synonymous with going paperless. By shedding paper a business can reduce the enormous environmental and business costs associated with paper’s creation, transport and disposal. However, kicking the paper habit will not be easy. Consumers’ hearts are in the right place, but if the paperless process is inconvenient or confusing most are not going to switch. It’s up to businesses to create a digital environment that consumers want to join because it is superior to their current paper-based environment. Some institutions are already working toward this goal by more fully automating back-end processes and making better use of digital signatures.
Despite the myriad challenges faced by large institutions in today’s economic climate, it might just prove to be a perfect time for small- and medium-sized institutions to focus on green initiatives and grab market share from their competitors who have put these inniatives on the back burner. It’s an opportunity to innovate and help the environment.

A manual process can add days to a transaction and require costly resources to complete.

When going paperless, the true commitment needs to come from the top. If the principals of the company aren't serious about wanting to become proficient in digital, it's not going to happen.
One point most businesses overlook when discussing digital signature solutions, is the reality of budgets and the understanding of how going paperless can really add to a businesses return on investment. Although we are seeing more and more of a shift these days businesses are typically only getting 1/4 of the budget they used to get. Going paperless can help add more money to other budget items while increasing efficiency.
From real estate offices to health care professionals, and insurance to education, all these industries can directly benefit from going digital. Digital signatures use a form of encryption technology called Public Key Infrastructure, or PKI. Each user has a pair of keys, one public and one private. When a person sends a document, a digital signature is generated from the private key. Then the recipient “authenticates” that signature by running a verification on the document, using the public key to ensure that the two pairs of keys click together to get validated. And when this is all completed the signature and document are forever all in one, not separated anytime, like other solutions.
Different industries have different needs as do different departments. Departmental solutions are available to address human resources, customer service, and many others. Discover how your organization can benefit from a digital signature solution, and how each department within the company can optimize business communications that require signatures.
