Do we still need this amount of paper in our office?


A typical business Needs Around 130 filing cabinets to store its documents, if this was scanned, digitised and sent to the cloud it would be weightless and take up no space at all.

If you were to empty those cabinets and stacked the paper that would take up quite a bit of space. See for yourself...

These 129 cabinets take up almost 6,000m2 of of office space

That’s about the same space as about 166 people - and often far less productive!

These filing cabinets contain around 1.3million pieces of paper when full.

If you were to stack this paper would be 134m tall.

That’s about the same as 1.5 Big Bens' stacked on top of each other

And would weigh over 6 tons
(that’s the same as a large African Elephant)

Imagined you were looking for that all important document in all of this?

Is it here maybe?

Or here?

How much does this cost you in time hunting through it all?

Never-mind the cost of this amount of paper!

Which would cost roughly £8,000, before we start worrying about ink, printing costs, electricity and similar

Could you do without having to manage over 6 tons of paper or would the space these take up be better used with more memebers of staff running your business? Maybe it's time you looked at cloud-based document management and reduce this burden on your business?
