Save Paper With Online Document Management

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Kranti

Here are some startling facts I came across online, about paper and its consumption in the US:

Every year the U.S. uses nearly 3.7 million tons of paper – that is more than 700 billion sheets
A Xerox survey reveals that U.S. office workers print more than 1,000 pages a
month; the national annual average is 10,000 – 12,000 sheets per worker
Other studies by Xerox reveal that office workers throw away 45 percent of their documents within 24 hours of printing them
With all the office paper businesses waste every year a 12-foot high wall of paper from New York to California could be built.
It takes one 15-year old tree to produce half a box of paper.
10,000 sheets of paper per year are used by a single US office worker. If a box of paper contains 5,000 sheets and costs $32, that’s $64 and 4 trees per employee. For an office of 100 employees, that’s a whopping $6400 and 400 trees!

Cops Save Paper With Zoho Docs

Posted on August 6, 2011 by Kranti

A small police department of the Delaware County in Pennsylvania, USA, are not only saving lives but paper too. They have decided to go paperless by storing all their documents online and Zoho Docs has been chosen for their online document management.?

According to officers at the police department, this move would enhance communications between the public and the police. With this system in place the public would be able to get forms online, saving both the public and police personnel a lot of time and effort.

Officers also noted that with the tremendous volumes of documents stored, some documents are stuck into a file and never seen again. They felt it’s a waste of paper and more importantly time, as it sometimes takes an hour for a secretary to retrieve a document. But with Zoho Docs, the police department is able to store their files online securely, organize them neatly into multi-level folders and with the full-text search feature, it’s easier to find and access them. Also, with its affordable pricing, it was within the budget of the department.

Announcing Zoho Docs – Google Chromebook integration

Posted on June 15, 2011 by Naveen

When Google launched the Cr-48 Chrome notebooks, they invited Zoho to be a part of its pilot program. We even gave away Cr-48 notebooks to some of you. We do hope that you have been putting your Cr-48s to good use and have been getting the most out of cloud computing

Today, the first commercial Chromebooks have started shipping in the U.S. Those of you who missed out on the pilot program can get your own Chromebook now.

Here’s how Zoho is a part of this launch. If you had followed the Day 2 Keynote at Google I/O you might have noticed that Google’s Chrome operating system now includes some major updates and newer features. The most notable among them is the addition of a file manager. The file manager is a very simple one and looks a lot like the file manager systems in Windows or Mac.

We’ve come up with a Chrome extension, that allows users to upload and view their documents in Zoho Docs.…
