Paperless office?

I have THE answer to help you go paperless...

It has been the best purchase I have ever made in my business!!

It is called the "Neat Receipts Scanalizer".

It is a tiny, laptop style, scanner but it is the software that comes with it that makes it AWSOME!

You take receipts, documents, bills, checks, business cards... Anything that is normally piled on your desk and scan it into this program.

It has word recognition software that is really good at pulling the relevant info from the page!

The best part is that if you scan in receipts for your business they are 100% accepted by the IRS as if they were the real, paper in hand, document!!

You can export the files into images, documents, spreadsheets, accounting software, or even .pdf files.

After a long trip I come home, scan the receipts into the computer, export it to .pdf, and file transfer it to my accountant!!

Then to top if off you can use it in Photoshop or other photo editing software to import photos and such...

So I use it for business AND personal.

I am telling EVERYONE I know to get one of these!

I got mine from Staples for cheaper then the "Official" website and I originally saw it in SkyMall.com so it is widely available and sometimes cheaper then buying directly from the company.

I hope you get one! It will make you VERY happy and much less cluttered!

we did this in our office not too long ago..... you need to invest in a really good printer with a scan & e-mail function (so you can scan all documents to yourself to save to correct files. The other item we needed to get was a top end data system so we can organize per client. we put this in 1 yr ago in Jan and we are now about 80% paperless and expect to go 100% by end of 2008.

It is mostly a matter of how you do things. Going paperless means instead of filing paper documents you file them in files on your computer and when you need to view them you open the files and look at them. So you need a computer and programs to store, search for, and display the information you need.
