The usual process of business is: buy copy paper, buy printer ink, buy copier toner, buy printers and buy copiers. All this expense just to get started in the never ending circle of paying someone to file and sort through all the paper. Then, when the paper isn’t needed anymore, you have to pay someone to haul it off or store it.

Answers to the issues in your mind right now:
I can’t go paperless, I have always worked with a paper in my hand since college. I can’t read off a screen and I can’t keep track of changes I make that way. I work most efficiently with a paper document and a pen in my hand.
We know that everything can’t be paperless, many people have to see something on paper because that’s what they’re used to. With a paperless strategy you can access every document your company produces, from anywhere in the world, print out a copy of that document and work the way that suits you best…without hauling paper everywhere.
We bought a copier and expensive billing software so our copier we could bill clients for copies of the paperwork we produce for them. We’d lose the investment in the software and copier and all the incoming revenue we get by billing $.10/pg.
Many companies, law firms, medical practices and a variety of businesses charge for copies and their copier is a profit center for the business. Printing out digitized documents reduces the wear on a copier significantly by eliminating the use of the feeder and billing for prints is often the same as billing for copies. The advantage is, the document is easier to locate and can be sent to the printer without standing over a copier for 10 minutes. Same amount of profit, half the wear and overhead. It also creates a new profit center, CD/DVD burning. Rather than copying 250 pages, you can burn it to a CD and charge clients a flat rate. It makes your clients happier, it reduces your overhead, it’s faster and it creates less paper for everyone.
