Must haves for implementing a paperless office….

1. PCs or MACs with Dual Screens

2. A shared network drive with:

a. a logical file structure

b. appropriate folder level security

c. daily backups held offsite (e.g. backup to internet via iDrive or Dropbox)

3. A networked Scanner – ideally one that can scan double sided pages

4. Electronic work papers – e.g. in Excel

5. Ability to save/print to PDF from any application – e.g. PDFFill PDF printer

6. Fax gateway so incoming faxes are received electronically – e.g. 2Talk

7. Shredding service/document destruction bin – e.g. Mobile Onsite Shredding
