Digitize documents for more sustainable information management

As modern companies navigate an era of digital transformation, it is important to stay on top of current trends in digitization and information management to protect data, maximize productivity, and make the most sustainable choices, both for business and the planet. Kyocera content services are designed to support your digital transition and ensure your workflows are optimized, while your environmental impact is minimized. Discover how to digitize documents for more sustainable information management and what the main benefits are of storing your content in the cloud.

Why digital content management is more sustainable

While most companies have at least begun their digital transformation, many organizations still heavily rely on paper in daily processes. However, there are several benefits of transitioning to a digital content management system which support more sustainable information management.

  • Reduce paper waste: When you limit printing to only essential documents, you use significantly less paper. This greener way of printing helps to reduce your carbon footprint while also making your content management system more secure, efficient, and accessible remotely. Moving from paper to the cloud is sustainable for the planet and practical for your business.
  • Minimize use of consumables: Your organization will also enjoy cost savings and further environmental improvements by ordering and using fewer print consumables such as ink and toner. Ink and toner cartridges, waste bottles, and toner powder itself contain plastics that can be harmful to the planet.
  • Eliminate on-site servers: When you store your content in the cloud, you eliminate the need for on-site servers, thus reducing your organization’s energy consumption, saving space, and minimizing risks of data loss due to on-site disasters.
  • Cost-efficient cloud storage: Cloud content management solutions such as KCIM offer cost-effective digital document storage with scalable plans. Pay for the storage you need and enjoy flexible pricing. Moreover, the cloud grows with your business, so you don’t have to worry about reaching storage capacity. This makes the cloud practical and financially sustainable for your business.

How to digitize documents with Kyocera content services

To digitize documents, all you need is a manner of scanning paper and a storage system to which you can upload digital files. Kyocera’s MFPs offer advanced scanning features, such as handwriting recognition, automatic de-skew, and ID card scan to support swift and accurate digitization. Moreover, with Kyocera software such as Kyocera Cloud Capture (KCC), your employees can easily capture documents and immediately send them to a cloud content management platform such as Google Drive or Kyocera Cloud Information Manager (KCIM). KCC allows users to print from and scan directly to the cloud without having to upload or download files from a computer as a middle step.

KCIM offers a secure, centralized hub in which to store digital documents. With comprehensive features such as keyword search, access controls, and password protection, you can streamline workflows, reduce time wasted manually searching for files, and protect sensitive data from unauthorized personnel. The process of digitizing and storing content in the cloud is straightforward with Kyocera’s support and it improves operational efficiency and sustainability in your workplace.

Sustainability in the workplace

A recent study by Economist Impact, sponsored by Kyocera, called “Transitioning to sustainability: Employee perspectives on workplace practices ” found that globally a top-down approach to sustainability exists in workplaces, in which senior executives lead change, while junior employees feel a disconnect between their work and the organization’s sustainability initiatives. This finding challenges a generational myth that junior employees are more engaged with sustainability practices. The report concludes that a more inclusive bottom-up approach is needed to engage all employees across an organization and make sustainability everyone’s responsibility.

The reduction of resource consumption is one of the most common global practices to improve workplace sustainability, such as cloud storage and the digitization of paper processes . The study showed that this is true across industries. Therefore, if you have not already taken these small steps towards a greener tomorrow, it’s time to join the digital revolution and do your bit to make the workplace a more sustainable environment.

Moving your content to the cloud helps to reduce your organization’s use of paper and other print consumables, such as ink or toner, eliminate on-site servers and consume less electricity. It’s also the most secure, efficient, and accessible approach to content management. Digital documents can be protected by passwords and access permissions, and your digital content management system is better prepared for disaster recovery.
