Artificial intelligence (AI) sounds like the stuff of science fiction: computers learning from large amounts of information to perform human-like tasks. But today, it’s a reality. Machines are now capable of following voice commands, automating time-consuming jobs, and even beating chess grandmasters at their own game.

Businesses today are increasingly going paperless, as digital and cloud-based solutions gain popularity and efficiency. However, working with paper-based documents is still an inevitable fact of life for many small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Many SMBs turn to product-as-a-service (PaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) models; even fully paper-bound and transitional (transitioning from paper-bound to paperless) businesses use PaaS and/or SaaS for their document management needs.

Business leaders are constantly looking for ways to get more out of their data. The importance of effective document management cannot be overstated, especially in a world where data sets are growing exponentially. Add security, privacy, and compliance concerns into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a serious business challenge.

Digital transformation is far more than a trend — it’s the inevitable next step in the evolution of business processes. Running a paperless office is a part of that trend, but it’s not only about becoming more energy-efficient and reducing your carbon footprint.

A few decades ago, mobile phones were primarily used for calling and texting. Now, they’re pocketable supercomputers capable of running enterprise apps. These devices have become so powerful that competitive businesses are utilizing them for work, especially when it comes to document management.

Tax season is only a few months away, which means it’s time to start preparing your documents. Filling out the required forms and auditing your business’s financial transactions throughout the fiscal year feels daunting, especially if you’re processing and maintaining hard copies of all your records.

Moving your files to a cloud document management system (DMS) offers huge business benefits. Consider how much space and money you can save without bulky on-premise servers. Better yet, imagine how efficient your staff will be when they can access their files in the cloud via the internet.
