Our environment is at the verge of falling to a state of irreversible damage. Imagine a world where the air is not fit to breath, fresh potable water is a rare commodity, and green ecosystem an extinct concept! This picture is a very possible future for our planet and the sheer terror it generates has compelled the authorities and corporate alike to take all measures necessary for environmental protection. In fact, if every business becomes ‘green conscious’ and contributes a little to the planet, we can very well add to the longevity of our environment.

Every business, big or small, has to tackle copious amounts of paperwork and digital information. Enterprises with a big stakeholder footprint can only bear with such loads with a proper Document Management System at place or by availing the services of a Records Management System. However, many businesses see a Document Management System as a novelty rather than an investment. Though, this can prove to be a costly error in judgment.

Environmental deterioration and Global warming do make-up for entertaining science-fiction and post-apocalyptic movies. Sadly, they are real!

The Butterfly Effect states that ‘Events as small as a flap of a butterfly’s wings in one hemisphere of the planet can so trigger a chain of events as to cause a storm in the opposite hemisphere!’ If events and processes are related to each other with such intricate mechanisms, then their effect can be seen in the fine machinery of large enterprises as well. A small untraceable obstruction in communication, coordination, information or execution could topple the net productivity of the workforce.
