By Loris F. Anders


Businesses have been depending on paper for communication and accounting for years. However, old habits die hard and is therefore proving difficult to operate without. The interactions that involve the use of paper bring together partners and clients whose operations you do not have control. When you need to go paperless, there are excellent options you can explore.

Make provisions and also sign up for e-statements. This will avoid the depositing of utility bills and bank statements at your address or door. This makes you believe or buy the idea that you can operate without using paper. Your associates will pick your cue and help you avoid the paper. Always ask clients or customers whether electronic communication and systems are an option. You may even send these electronic systems alongside the printed versions.

Adapt necessary technology to facilitate the use of electronic communication. Your office must have the equipment to receive electronic communication, make filing and take appropriate action. Further, it should be easy to trace this communication and interactions. This requires persons with necessary tools, technology and expertise.

Pay your bill electronically and also allow your clients to also pay in the same way. Invoices can be sent electronically, action taken and the deal concluded without printing any document. You will need appropriate consensus, technology and understanding from both parties. Once the trend picks pace, it becomes easier to bring in the other operators.

Consolidate information collection and tracking of operations. You do not need to keep records of receipts and interactions with customers. By tracking and approving them electronically, you will keep records of activity. You can refer to these records in case a question arises. Agree on electronic transactions and make provision for it.

A digital signature will work magic for you. Physical signatures are required for every printed page. Where your approval is required, a digital signature will be effective. Ensure that its usage is not compromised because it could lead to losses or miscommunication. Use the digital signature consistently so that the communication you make remains authoritative.

Eliminating paper in all your operations might be difficult. This calls for gradual adoption of electronic engagements. Install the right technology and infrastructure to support the use of electronic interactions. There must be a system that allows tracking of activities electronically to address any queries that might arise. The systems you develop must be accurate and convenient for your business.
