Making the Case for Paperless  Increasing business efficiency is
the most compelling reason to invest money in a project.
According to research from Cabinet NG, investing in an
electronic-based document management system can not only help
you increase efficiency, but also save thousands of dollars a
year.  A comprehensive electronic document management system
(EDMS) can provide a method for storing all relevant documents
in your office. If the EDMS can be integrated into the point
software solutions that each department uses, significant gains
in productivity and efficiency can be gained.  For instance, the
accounting department could access documents (orders, invoices,
contracts, etc.) online from their accounting application. Sales
could access documents from their CRM (customer relationship
management) software. The goal of an EDMS should be the software
glue that ties the different software packages together in such
a manner that all departments in a business gain efficiencies.
