Many organizations pursue the goal of becoming a paperless office to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and lessen environmental impact. Most companies never completely reach this truly difficult goal. Whether you want to become a 100% paperless office, or just use more digital documents and consume less paper, NorthShore Business Technology can help.

Our technology partners’ multifunction systems can help your organization integrate your paper and digital documents through the following key areas:

Scanning Documents

It is vital that businesses have the capability to convert paper-based information into an electronic format. With the increased use of color in business today, faxing documents often will not have the same result. With multifunction systems, creating an electronic document from a paper-based document has never been easier.

Scan to Email

Scan to email is the most common form of scanning today and can provide the greatest efficiency improvement in any organization. Your customers are progressively expecting to receive documentation via email. We’ll help you effectively meet this critical business requirement.

Scan to File or HDD

NorthShore multifunction systems allow for the scanning of paper-based documents to virtually any network folder, or on the Hard Drive of the system itself.

Scan to OCR

Scan to OCR (optical character recognition) allows for users to convert their scanned documents into word editing applications. Charts and tables can even be scanned into spreadsheet applications. Users can then edit the documents as they would any other text or spreadsheet document.

With OCR, there is no need to go through the hassle of retyping the document. OCR allows users to focus time on business productivity instead of recreating a document needlessly.

Scan to Electronic Document Management

Scan to electronic document management systems (EDMS) is becoming a common requirement for businesses. Businesses are implementing more and more sophisticated electronic document management systems in order to streamline their workflow processes and make documents available to more users with greater security.
