Tips or aTree-Friendly Ofce

1. Back up your les.

2. Paperless is a process;

it wont happen overnight.

3. Use oce space wisely

the less paper you have, the more

opportunities or reorganization.

4. Expect to still use some papernot all

clients will want to be billed electronically.

5. Get buy-in rom the entire business.

6. Recognize the benets beyond

lower printing coststhink o all those

days you shufe through the mounting

piles on your desk. In time, those days

will be gone.
