Whether it's a single user system like LaserFiche Executive or a network version like LaserFiche Client-Server, the only new hardware you may need is a document scanner. Depending on the volume of documents, you may want additional storage space or a dedicated server, but your computer staff doesn't need to learn how to configure new equipment. LaserFiche is modeled after the simple intuitive interface that you are used to. Most functions involve just clicking a button or dropping down a menu. Like an orchestral symphony, you don't have to be a virtuoso to appreciate the beauty and value of LaserFiche.
Real paper takes up space, and is hard to search and retrieve in large volumes.
But the flexibility and portability of paper are valuable qualities. Paper can store images, graphics, photographs, and text of differing fonts and sizes, organized and formatted, all in one place. Many electronic document storage packages lose this visual information, retaining only plain text. That way, when you find the information you need, you can print, fax or email the entire page it came from, exactly the way it was originally intended. Even in color.
