Paperless is MORE!

Many people will likely be aware that companies up and down the country have been rolling out ‘paperless’ billing and documentation for some time now. Whether it’s your utility provider, your insurance carrier or even your employer, there are a number of reasons as to why you should consider removing the need for paper entirely from your education service or enterprise. After all, textbooks and guides could soon be a thing of the past! 

If you regularly provide educational resources to a customer base that is willing to broaden their knowledge, you could significantly cut down on their paper consumption as well as your own expenditure. Not only can cutting down paper usage benefit your budget but it may also impact positively upon the world around us – Sam Martin of Ecology estimates that around 35% of all felled trees are cut down for paper industries meaning that if only a few of us were to adopt a more environmentally-friendly approach, we could reduce dependency upon paper by a considerable margin.

Get rid of paper and save thousands!

The Paperless Project reveals that companies based in the US generally waste more than $120 billion on printed forms alone and this cost is only likely to increase as businesses grow and inflation rises. Over in the UK, it’s thought that small and medium enterprises will generally spend around £10,000 per year in printing costs. Going paperless, therefore, makes all the more sense for saving money – but are people more likely to respond to eLearning than to a paper textbook? The signs are very positive indeed!

Statistics suggest that companies and learners the world over are turning to online learning tools more. eLearning Industry advises that 2015 saw considerable growth in take-up of online platforms, and around 28.5% of in-house corporate training was delivered online or via PC. The source also advises that larger companies are more likely to invest in online educational platforms and modules, meaning that you may well get more attention if you choose to scrap paper altogether.

We therefore invite you to take a closer look at how we can help your business engage with users and compete with rivals ahead of any technological revolutions yet to come.
