Going green is a common theme in both the private and public sectors. So it seems only fitting that organizations increasingly see streamlining processes with document imaging and document management software - two core components of ECM - as a strategic element of their green initiatives.

When paper was its only option, Cornell University admissions staff dreaded the daunting task of manually sorting undergraduate applications each fall. Employees lugged incoming student applications to a processing center a mile and a half away from the main campus, drove them to the admissions offices for selection decisions, and then transported them back to the processing center. Implementing the right ECM software solution helped the university eliminate this cumbersome, wasteful delivery procedure, cutting fuel costs and minimizing paper use in the process. Cornell employees benefit from a simplified admissions process, and the environment is spared needless carbon dioxide emissions.

Are there any environmentally friendly business practices you'd really like to see happen in your organization?
