LAWMAKERS GOING PAPERLESS There's no way constituents would allow a law that would require businesses to go paperless though it doesn't seem like such a bad idea - but it's possible that lawmakers could require government agencies to invest in document management software. From the success reported by corporations that have made use of the technology, it's likely that public authorities would benefit from faster records processing, a more flexible budget and improved file sharing.
Rebuilding from the ground up One of the benefits associated with electronic workflow is the ability to quickly access information. From constituent tax payment records to property value forms, it's the right of every citizen to be able to view all documents that may influence their livelihoods. Thankfully, many public organizations are recognizing the importance of this privilege. According to Valley News, the Hartford, Vermont town offices are being relocated so that renovations can commence on the regular municipal building. As opposed to transporting hundreds of boxes of files and records, 95 percent of them were scanned into a digital database that is expected to enhance the organization's transparency. The measure is viewed as the first step in transferring all 900,000 documents into a document management software. "I think it is a service to the community," said Town Manager Hunter Rieseberg, as quoted by the news source. "It is faster, more complete, more efficient, and it is where we are heading in the future."
