By Cyber Security, Efficient, Green Office, Innovation, ITC, Office Solutions

An interview was done with James Elstob of MDM Technologies

Benefits for small companies versus large companies.
“Outsourcing” and “Insourcing” are methods of dividing up work amongst different departments or companies for strategic reasons. Insourcing is typically done solely from within a company’s own operational infrastructure, while outsourcing uses companies that are not affiliated with the company itself to perform a task.

Print vs. Digital Education in Schools

By Efficient, Green Office, Innovation, Print Assessment

Everything we do each day involves a digital aspect, whether it be on a laptop, tablet, smartphone, e-reader or desktop computer.  Today’s youth see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology and actively engaging on devices every single day.

More and more schools are investing in classroom technologies, where students are now equipped with school-issued tablets and access to e-textbooks.  It is quickly becoming a necessity to convert textbooks to digital versions.  But we need to ask ourselves the question – does digital text really stand up to printed text?

  • Digital text is portable, handy, less expensive (assuming you already have a device) and accessible (this only applies to metropolitan areas).
  • When it comes to learning and our ability to process written information, digital text may seem like the obvious winner, however when considering that many people’s comprehension levels vary based on how they interact with text, the answer really depends on how interactive the digital text is.

To get some perspective, here are some facts that Pam Doyle found out about document handling in a 2010 research study:

  • Professionals spend 5-15% of their time reading documents, and up to 50% of their time looking for these same documents
  • The average document gets photocopied 19 times
  • Users send and receive 133 emails a day (on average)

These kinds of facts highlight how inefficient document archiving and management practices can negatively impact productivity, but how does one address this?
