Two developments in the area of paperless offices caught my eye recently. The first is Unclutterer's Six tips for going paperless. I was pleased to see that they concur with my recommendation of the ScanSnap scanner. And I absolutely agree with the idea of only scanning paper that matters. I threw away months of old utility bills when I converted to paperless and today I don't scan them at all. My checkbook provides enough of a payment history for me, and if I ever needed to review past usage (which I have yet to really need) I could do so at the provider's website.
The related item of interest is the news that Mariner Software has acquired the popular ReceiptWallet and will release it as Mariner Paperless. You'll definitely need a filing solution for your scans, so this is worth a peek if you're a Mac user.
