In honor of Earth Day, April 22, 2008, Laserfiche®, a Southern California-based software company, is proud to say that their electronic document management solutions have helped thousands of organizations dramatically reduce their paper consumption.
Conservatively, Laserfiche estimates that with each installation of its document management software, an organization saves an average of 500,000 pages of paper. With over 25,000 installations, including government agencies, corporations, healthcare providers and financial services firms, this adds up to some 1 trillion pages total. Some organizations save much more—for example, the Department of Immigration in Mexico has used Laserfiche to digitize more than 200 million documents.
Sources vary on the amount of wood and/or recycled products used to produce paper, but according to the most conservative estimates, one tree equals 8,500 pages of standard office paper; thus the savings of 1 trillion pages of paper by 25,000 organizations translates into a savings of approximately 117 million trees!
“We are proud to do our part,” says Nien-Ling Wacker, the company’s founder and CEO. “In all honesty, we started Laserfiche to make software to help organizations be more productive, and we’ve succeeded. To realize that we’ve also had such a positive environmental impact gives us a warm feeling.”
Based in Long Beach, CA, Laserfiche creates simple and elegant document management solutions that help organizations run smarter. Electronic document management, or document imaging, is the practice of digitizing and indexing paper documents, then storing them along with electronic documents in a central repository. By digitizing paper archives, Laserfiche helps users find what they need in seconds, collaborate more effectively and complete daily tasks more efficiently, while multiple security features protect information from unauthorized access or release. With software from Laserfiche, you’ll not only achieve an organized, paperless office—you’ll support environmentally-friendly business processes, too.
