Document Scanning Solutions for HR Departments

Paper documents have always been a part of a Human Resources Department, but proper management of these files often presents a challenge. Searching for a certain document can entail hours of poring and sifting through each cabinet or drawer. There is also a chance of these paper files being lost due to hazards like fire or gradual deterioration, which is not good news if they hold sensitive or vital information.

According to The Paperless Project (via Medium), “about $120 billion is spent on printed forms and documents by American corporations, the majority of which become obsolete within three months.”
