Is Paperless Office a Reality or Not?

According to me paper less office is not reality. Following are my viewe to reduce paper usages.

1. Before taking print out it should be checked (print preview) to avoid paper usage.

2. Personal documents should not be taken in office.

3. Every employee should have limit to take print out for each day.

As far as my views are concerned I think completely paperless office is myth because it is not possible to completely change the system. As you listen the dictum “Rome was not built in a day”. Now a days, due to availability of computer less work done on paper because all the information are available on computer through internet. There are different kind of devices are available in the market like CDs, pendrives etc. For storage data. This cause less dump of files in the office. Branches does not look like mess. Any kind of data can be search on the computer which is not possible on paper file so it take less time to find out the data. It save time and money also.

But fully paperless office is not possible because afterall computer is a machine and caused misplace of important data, data can be corrupt on system and might be met with an accident. So, it is necessary to keep a paper file also so that unnecessary inconvenience may not occur at the time of urgency. Other thing is this, everybody cannot afford computer and internet and some important letters needs in paper form.

According to me paper less office is not a myth.We can send communication through mails.We can store the data on storage devices.This can be possible in a non-IT company also.Just they need a little training and small technical instruments.It will be surely a drastic as well as cost effective change.But once it is configured, it will be a life time thing.As well as it will be a Go Green attitude.There will be lesser tree cuts and more oxygen in the air and less global warming.

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.

In my point of view paper less work necessary but not every where. It is true that we store our data in computer but it is not necessary that it may be safe so whenever its required we use other wise we do not. If we use paperless work so it may be profit we will get such as we save more trees.

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.

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.

Paperless work is not possible in all type of offices. Sometime paper play a big role and can't be taken by any other. Beside all of them use of paper can be less by using computer, pager and any other electric device.

Question is that can office run without paper,

Answer is perfectly false. We can only do that we are using at least paper where we really need.

Indian railways says you can show your ticket in mobile a big example of the e-world we are moving into. The answer to the question asked is yes.
