Adelante Document Imaging has been helping businesses move from paper to digital files for several years. Due to the pandemic and the numbers of people working remotely, the scanning business and electronic files are definitely in demand. After all, COVID’s challenges have required businesses to move to a digital environment and operate more efficiently. This includes going paperless or reducing the amount of paper a business uses. Also, letting people access files remotely. The expert team at Adelante Document Imaging can help your business do just that!
The Changing Office Environment and Benefits of Going Paperless
With a paperless system, employees can access files from wherever they are. Furthermore, businesses save money, and employees can spend time on more critical tasks rather than combing through files. “It’s a cost effective way for businesses to be going,” said Nancy Mullarky, manager at Adelante’s Document Imaging. Even before the pandemic, businesses were starting to understand the flexibility of a paperless system. To clarify, paperless systems allow access to crucial files if someone is home sick or cannot make it to the office. Now more people working from home are seeing the challenges of not having a paperless system.
Furthermore, businesses on average save $80 per employee when they go paperless versus not having a paperless system. “Industries in general are trying to go paperless; it’s more efficient,” said Nancy. “You don’t have to pay for storage space.”
Adelante Document Imaging Makes It Easy to Go Paperless
So what if you’re already adopting a paperless system? Perhaps your business has taken COVID as an opportunity to clean and organize old files? Adelante Document Imaging can help you, even if you had already taken steps to go paperless before COVID.
Nancy mentioned that taking old records and files paperless is a major challenge. “It was really easy to go ‘Okay, as of January 1st, we’re going to go paperless,’ and take care of your current records that way, but all those other old records are still sitting there in paper,” said Nancy. The problem is worsened by the fact that scanning in-house usually takes a dedicated employee many months. This is where Adelante comes in! “Something that can take a company months and months, and maybe a dedicated employee doing nothing but that, we can do in maybe a few months,” said Nancy.
The Adelante Document Imaging Team = Scanning Experts
Simply put, Adelante team members are experts at scanning. “We’ve done so much of it we do it well.” Just a few months ago, Adelante employees smashed a record by scanning over 1,000,000 papers in one month!
It may seem like scanning is straightforward, but there is a lot that goes into quality scans. Taking sticky notes off and scanning them separately, pulling out staples, folding out corners, repairing tears, trimming tattered edges—Adelante works hard to make sure that customers receive good clear images. In fact, taking these files apart and organizing them is the most time-consuming part of the process. And because the team at Adelante Document Imaging are experts, they can easily handle paper like thermal copy paper and old documents.
Quality, Secure, and Accessible Document Imaging
Additionally, when you work with Adelante, you get the best quality in the business. Adelante quality checks the process multiple times. Files are checked three times by three different employees after being prepped. And because we want to ensure you have proper scans, we hold your paper documents for 90 days at no cost. We then can securely shred them at our Document Shredding Services center located in the building.
For larger clients, Adelante even has a way to scan documents and move them to the client’s database. But right now, flash drives reign as the most popular method of document storage.
So what happens if you give Adelante all of your files and then you suddenly need one? Well we have a solution for that as well: scan on demand! For an extra cost, we can scan the file you need and get it to you quickly. We build this cost into your estimate on an as-needed basis.
