The Benefits of Going Paperless [Infographic]

Businesses are living in a more digital world, which means many can actually run paperless offices now.

When it comes to reducing the amount of paper that an office produces, businesses get a dual benefit of achieving cost savings and doing something good for the environment at the same time. It alsom means organizations can lighten their loads — figuratively and literally.

According to data compiled by iDatix, an enterprise document management company, for its paperless infographic, the U.S. produces 71 million tons of paper each year. This, apparently, is equal to the average weight of 9 million elephants. Talk about getting rid of dead weight!
