In this age of technology, you may have thought of going paperless but have experienced certain challenges. Here are a few tools that can help you achieve the goal of going paperless.
Cloud Servers
There are many services out there that will sync your files across multiple devices and keep a copy in a cloud server. Among these are Nomadesk, DropBox, and GoogleDocs. This allows you to access your files on your laptop, smart phone, or from any computer. You would no longer need to carry around heavy file folders or be tied to your computer!
Electronic Fax Services
With scanning technology, faxing is probably less common but still needed. Services such as E-Fax and MyFax allow you to receive faxed documents to your email as a PDF attachment. Given that it’s already in electronic format, you can then quickly send it to others if needed.
Electronic Signatures
Signatures can also be captured electronically these days. DocuSign and DotLoop are among the many providers of secured signing programs. For tablets and smart phones, there are even apps that let you sign electronically. Mac users have signing capability built right into the Image Preview app using the mousepad. It’s amazing how far we’ve come with signature options!
