Fighting the paper invasion is a constant battle for many organizations. Scanning paper records to keep down the sprawl of file cabinets and archive shelves has been common practice for many years. But, what about the hundreds of thousands of external paper documents that pour through the door every day and bog down our active business processes? They create more problems than paper records – slowing down response, restricting access, and making additional demands for re-keying, copying, and filing. Yet, the progress being made towards paper-free processes is very slow. Most organizations have yet to address more than 5% of the possible processes that could be given the flexibility, visibility, and efficiency that are characteristic of electronic workflows. In this research study, we look at the reasons for this poor progress, measure the adoption of digital mailrooms, chart the progress of mobile capture, and show which processes are the most effective for paper-free working. Below are the key findings from this research project - Winning the Paper Wars

In many organizations, existing SharePoint deployments are broad but not very deep when it comes to integration with core business processes, especially those that are transactional and complex. While most of those organizations have goals or formal plans to make additional investments in this direction, the entrance of SharePoint 2013 and Office365 into the mix have interrupted some of these plans. Companies now find themselves having to make even more complex and future-looking plans about moving to the cloud. People want to know -- what should you do next if you already have a SharePoint 2003, 2007, or 2010 on-premises deployment? What are leading companies doing today? What are the mistakes to avoid? What issues should you be considering? How do you convince your manager to move forward?
