Is Paperless Office a Reality or Not?

According to me, the paperless office should be there but it has both negative and positive sides. At one side, it will be developed and technology will enhance with more use as the world is changing into the digital world and it will help in saving more trees and data can be stored more safe and secure with passwords etc. At one time papers will start damaged so I think there should be a paperless office but still some of them not believe in this because yes at one side they have the fear of storing data from being digital and sometimes manual work is more effective because sometimes internet connections or network may stop your work.

So from my point of view, if you have to change your brick office into click office then you should totally upgrade and confidential towards technology more use of technology will help in more effective work.

Well, today "global warming" is the issue that is very much talked about. Deforestation being one of the major reasons for it. Looking at the recent scenario, government all over the globe have started trying hard to "save paper" and thus "save environment" and "save trees" through various campaigns.

So imagining a paperless office can be a reality to a great extent. The companies can try not to use paper as much as possible and try and use computers to store data. Retrieving of data from a computer also takes hardly some seconds as compared to paper where all the files are need to be gone through to find one important data.

Thus offices can take up a step of going paperless as much as possible which will make office work easy, save time and also save paper and thus save environment to great extent.

Though the topic sounds bit cool but it is not that easy to apply this thought in real. I think no matter how much progress we have made or are making or will make we need the paper in some specific areas. If we consider the educational bodies, there we find that paper is really needed to provide the students with all of their certificates and results which are ultimately needed to earn a job for him in this digital world.

For the case of publication industries, though we are in the era of e-books and digital magazines but still one can not deny the real charm of reading a printed books. At the end if we are really concerned about the environment then I think it is better to increase the no of trees rather than to cut our needs because whatever we will do we need the natural resources in form or another.

Paperless Workplace/ Office is not so far reality. People/ Employees/ Employers/ Organization/ Entrepreneurs are taking advantage to different degree as per their risk taking. Indian Railways/ Government of India and many State Government have already gone ahead. This was possible after successful pilot of e-Office by DARPG, Central Government.

As a part of ISO requirement I had aligned my departmental working towards paperless workplace. Our department is virtually paperless. We do use paper but to a very limited extent. We don't waste the paper & use the used paper even. All our documentation is online with 24/7 access within the company through intranet. Anyone can see the documents from the general area without log in. Internal documents are collaborated by all departmental employees with log in.

Paperless office is like a house without any persons existence therein.The progress of development of computers and other technologies has be so rapid that paperless office is almost becoming a reality.A few years ago competitive exam applications were sent through post.But now we can apply through internet. In some countries classroom study has turned into doing classes from home for example in australia.Although huge development in technologies need of little bit of paperwork is must.For example while taking any competitive exam admit cards should be carried with for getting admitted to exam hall.Likewise there are many other places were paper work is must.Finally paperless office is not a tortal reality but partially it is real.

According to me, being completely paperless is not totally practical because there are still many people who don't know how to operate computers how to feed data into it and how to use the stored data.

Although there are really numerous advantages of being fully paperless like there will be saving of both time and cost and nowadays through the use of AI one can perform time-consuming tasks in just a click, and the data will be stored safely for an infinite point of time one can use the data as and when needed without the fear of being missing but in spite of all of these, because of India's education system which focuses more on theoretical knowledge rather than practical, being totally paperless is not a reality.

Paper less office is possible and it helps to save the data's and information's safely. An another important aspect of replacing paper works by computers will widely helps to reduce the time consumption. For example if we take some series calculation oriented works, if we do this work with papers it takes more time and may be chances for the manual error in the calculations but if we go with computers through internet using some software's, the time will be saved, no chances for error, mainly enough time is saved.

So in the offices where the possibilities for this replacement is possible, it far better to go with computers and internet's than the papers, Save time, Save Electricity, Save trees, Save Environment.

Hi All, I am a Software Developer and in my Organization all most all the work are done on Computer.
There are some points on a Paper-less Office Concept.
1. It cant be implemented in every office. I mean it depends on type of the work.
for ex: Sending a soft copy of receipt is not possible to every one because 70% of population who are living in village or small cities are not using internet every time.
2. We cant attain any goal 100% practically.
3. I disagree that data on computer are not safe. Hard-disk are so robust that in flood or in fire they are safe. Even there are redundant data replica so handle the worst condition.
4. But yes every organization should attain this goal as much as possible.

I am not against the paperproof office.

Buy I have a dilemma like,

Will we remain in the same era without adopting the new technology?

Will we not make our office work more efficiently and work friendly?

Will we not save our environment?

This dilemma is solved as follows.

Every paper costs four rupees and if any drafting is there we are wasting paper.

The paper comes from tree thus by making office without paper will make us eco-friendly.

Speedy action and the process will increase.

We will make our office towards e-literacy.

Though security concern will be there but making security layer tightened and tier basis we can be made it difficult.

Thus, I support paperless office.
