By Cyndi Seidler We are in an age of expanding information. Technological advances have made the volume of paper increase to newer heights every year. Written or computer generated reports, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, letters, faxes, email, literature and promotional documents all continue to mount up.
Information comes in various forms.
To find information we want, when we want it, has become the focus of information strategies. Issues we have been faced with include the storage, retrieval and tracking of information. When that information is in paper format, an efficient filing system is essential to the operations of of any organization. A system needs to be in place to handle the flow of paper so that it flows in and flows out. Imagine a traffic cop who allows cars to come into an intersection but doesn t allow them to leave it once they ve arrived.
