"The digital age consumes more paper, not less."
- gibsonf1 19y agoI know this isn't the case at my Architecture firm. When we do get paper in the office (snail mail, etc), we scan it (pdf) into our system and put the original in a box in sequential order for easy retrieval later if we need it. That is the last time the original usually sees the light of day. We typically work with pdf files with clients for invoicing and for presentations. In the past we'd have sent out prints, now a pdf file is all we need. The main time we are forced to use actual paper is to comply with government regulations and permitting etc. But effectively, we are paperless and radically more efficient because of it.
