- Half of organizations are scanning newly received paper items and filing them electronically rather than manually, and a third of businesses are looking to go to all-electronic records-keeping
- But for the other half, as well as manually filing inbound paper documents, 40% admit to routinely printing newly generated office documents and emails for the purpose of filing them as paper records.
- Electronic records are more than twice as likely to be described as “Unmanaged” than paper records.
- 71% of organizations have a procedure for legal hold of paper records in the event of litigation, but only 57% have one for electronic records.
