A Paperless Office for the Future

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses in detail how the concept of the paperless office, long a desire of the computer age, is finally a real possibility due to technologies such as Adobe's PDF file format and its Adobe Reader program. The paper examines how, accompanied by a slew of other relatively inexpensive or already present technologies, a company can save a substantial amount of revenue in operating expenses.

From the Paper:

"The paperless office concept, enabled by a combination of technologies and processes mediated through the personal computer, is already facilitated by such technologies as the PDF document system by Adobe and as outlined by an article in Infoworld entitled the Paperless Office is a very real strategy for this company. This company's love affair with the personal printer: "Office printer politics gets very territorial at times...`Even if a fast modern network printer is located in close proximity, there is a lot of resistance from people surrendering old and outdated personal printers'" (Mendham, para.9), will be replaced by greater productivity because a worker's time on task will increase."
