Historically, paper was a core part of organisations’ processes. As computers and electronic processes developed, scanners became a means of capturing documents and creating digital copies that could then be stored and used as needed.
Over time, the role of the scanner has become far more extensive: as the initial point where data is digitised and directly fed into automated digital workflows within and across organisations, scanners can now largely eliminate paper from many processes. However, it is unlikely that paper will be disappearing any time soon from inter-organisational and customer-to-business/business-to-customer workflows.
To make the most of digitisation, organisations must now address the various issues around how to digitise incoming paper. They must consider volumes, different sizes, quality of paper used, type of input (document, pamphlet, book, etc.), and whether the content of the scan then needs to be extracted as text and/or data to be fed directly into the relevant business processes.
