Is Paperless Office a Reality or Not?

Well, paperless office is certainly a reality. With the advancement in technology every document, every work that you do can be saved in a much better way than you can on papers, creating a more efficient system.

Well paperless work is more efficient as suppose an office caught by a fire, then if company is working on paper, then all the main data will vanish and company just completely ruined but if paperless work is going in office i.e. via computer. Then its hard copy will be saved. And if at somehow hard disk just crashed then all the companies have distributed database so company can fetch all the lost data from the main server i.e. headquarters so paperless office is reality and if company has strong data integrity then even hackers can't do anything.

Hello friends,

I consider that paper is using in offices to some extent. But we have not eliminated paper totally from our offices. I think offices are doing a right thing. I would like to tell you that before four month I was reading an interview of expert in IT. He was telling that if we put all the data in our laptop or desktop there is always a risk because hackers hack the site and even some non-registered software demolish all the precious data from our tool. So that we have to use paper to keep important data as a record. From this thing we can clearly recognize that offices can not work without paper.

THANK YOU.

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.

I think paperless office is not a reality, even though in today's world all the works are done on computers but still a hard copy in maintained for it. There are lots of risk also in comparison to its benefits, i.e. from hackers. You can take the example of gate 2013 result which was displayed 2 days before than the expected date and it was all done by a hacker so think if a hacker can hack a government site than my be it is possible that he/she could have a change with the mark sheet of students. So, I would like to say that paper less office is good but implementing it fully can be hazardous for the organisation.

Well paperless office can be a reality. It will save the accommodation expenditure done for making store rooms in offices. Saves money of keeping chowkidars especially for those stores. And will prevent all anti-silver fishes spray that is being done once in a year.

2-and for all those things for which paper work is must[such as certificates deal papers and requirement applications]. WE CAN USE SYNTHETIC PAPER from which dollars are made. This is durable and weather invariable. I know it can be bit costly but NOTHING AS COMPARED TO PREVENT THE DISTRACTION OF OUR MOTHER NATURE.

Is Paperless Office a Reality or Not?

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. For someone who has been working in the IT world for the past two years I can say that this dream has been realized from digital signatures, to online appraisals yes we are moving closer to this reality.

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.

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.
