Years ago I got excited at the prospect of going paperless. At the time I knew it was a challenge to do, and it still is on a lot of levels. Despite our best intentions, we often find that it’s easier or more convenient to print some sheets off here or there. Even more likely, we find that once we have a piece of paper, it’s VERY unlikely to get digitized. Who has time to go to a scanner and put everything into your digital portfolio?
The irony, of course, is that every paper was produced digitally, yet we rarely ask the person to send us the original file. If we do, it often ends up somewhere to be forgotten.
Scannable can help.
