We Listen To Our Customers
The features in the Paper Tiger Filing System for Document Management software products today were developed in response to many thousands of customers around the world providing us with what they need to better manage their information. Our goal is, and continues to be, to build products that customers love and use in their daily work. What we call “must have” products. We have always had an eye toward making things simple and easy-to-use. We have avoided the temptation to add irrelevant features. We know that this can make a product cumbersome, slow and less inviting.
We carefully read every single email, survey response, and as many Facebook and Twitter posts as possible. We also pay attention to all verbal comments made when customers contact our office. We use this feedback to determine our future product plans. All of this information has been used to prepare our Product Roadmap outlined below. While this is in summary fashion, you will get the gist of where we are headed. We welcome your feedback and you can also sign up for the Beta by taking a short 2 minute survey or you can email us at sales@thepapertiger.com.
Product Roadmap: “The 21st Century File Cabinet”
Paper Tiger software, in both the Windows Desktop and Online Editions, has become the standard for managing physical paper (hanging file folders). The unique indexing method first developed in 1995 is now installed in tens of thousands of companies, government agencies, non-profits, professional firms, homes, etc., around the world. With today’s fast & robust computers, myriad of devices such as the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Android phones & tablet computers, Windows phones, etc., and a constant connection to the Internet, the File Cabinet for the 21st Century must also allow the user to easily store and retrieve digital information.
Thus, what you can expect to see in future from The Monticello Corporation, the makers of the Paper Tiger software, is a fully integrated, very easy-to-use solution that will allow the user to store and quickly find, not only their paper-based information, but also their digital files. These digital files include spreadsheets, word processing documents, PDFs (digital & scanned images), photos, text & attachments from email, etc. – virtually any digital file. This product will be very secure, powerful and fast to learn. There will be minimal training required to use the new product and virtually no maintenance required. Any information stored in the “Paper Tiger Digital” Edition will be available from virtually any computer and/or device that the user has available.
The main idea of the product is that users of the new product will be able to stop using their email, various folders, naming conventions that quickly breakdown and a host of other methods to “stay on top” of their information. We have found through our research that our customers are using these “silos” (also thought of as “islands”) of information, as a way of just coping with the overwhelming amount of information they must process (keep safe and retrieve) each day. To find a particular digital document, in many cases the user must undertake the laborious and tedious process of opening each “silo” wasting time looking for the right information, as there is no effective way to search across all their information. The new digital edition of Paper Tiger software will make this entire process automatic and the customer will be able to find anything (paper or digital) in under 5 seconds from one search box. The product will work equally well in a shared, networked office environment where multiple users need access to information, as it does for an individual. Important security, privacy and permission controls will be built into the product that are fully customizable.
There are many reasons that offices are attempting to go digital with their information and to achieve the paperless office. These include the elimination of the cost of purchasing & maintaining file cabinets, reduced labor costs, better document work flow, going “green” and saving the environment, etc. So, if your office is now using a scanning (scanner) solution to generate searchable PDF documents or you just want to get better organized with your digital files, the new Paper Tiger Digital Edition will make a big difference. We are taking a totally new approach to getting you organized, based on years of customer feedback. We are creating the world’s best digital “finding” system, not just another digital filing system. Our attempt is to revolutionize digital filing, just as we did when we revolutionized paper filing with Paper Tiger Desktop and Online Editions.
While we cannot give a definite date for the release of the new Paper Tiger Digital Edition, just know that we are currently well into the development process. All customers who sign up for Paper Tiger Online before we launch the Digital Edition, will get the new features at no additional cost (except for any storage costs, which will be based on how much information you have to store – the cost is low and data storage is dropping in price, but the final price has not been determined at this point).
We want to be as transparent as possible and let you know where we are going with the Paper Tiger products. You can expect further details about the new product as we finalize the product. We are very excited about the direction and welcome your suggestions on additional features or questions on the specifics. To keep you updated on our progress – join us on our newsletter, Facebook or Twitter. In addition, you can give us your feedback and you sign up for the Beta by taking a short 2 minute survey or you can email us at sales@thepapertiger.com. You can also chat with us or call us during normal business hours Eastern Time in the U.S. We are partners together in building the best products to help you better manage your information. Thank you for your business and let us hear from you!
