Finding Your Way Out of the Paper Storm with Paper Tiger Document Management Software and Filing System

In my daily life I am often consumed by enormous amounts of paper. Bills and letters and household documents at home. Invoices and employment documents and so much more at work. It sometimes feels like a blizzard of paper raining down upon my head. I grow weary of trying to manage it. There’s only so much room and so many trees I can kill without feeling the guilt. There has to be a way to improve this.

Guess what? There is. It’s called Paper Tiger. The Paper Tiger is a document management tool. I know what you are thinking…a what? Why do I need that? How does it work?  Well, it’s really pretty simple. The Paper Tiger is an indexing system that helps you keep track of your physical items. It is a very simple, yet powerful concept. You establish your locations physically, but manage and keep track of them digitally. Paper Tiger allows you to file information physically one way, but easily organize files virtually in a totally different way using Categories.  Categories offer a virtual view of your paper files at the click of a button. You can relate files without them being physically related!

No more duplicate files, no more fruitless searches. See your information printed in almost anyway you like. Reports are designed to make life easier for you and can be taken with you. The labeling/tab features makes setting up the software a snap! I use this great tool for all my home warranties, bills and statements. I use it at work to file documents relating to our employees and to keep track of documents. It’s a miracle how organized I am now!

Keep your paper in its original form (you do not have to scan it) and use the power of the computer to quickly and easily find/share the information when you need it. This is the best of both worlds. You get all of the best things from the computer but do not have the problems of using a scanner.
Most customers that convert their paper files to Paper Tiger would not use anything else – it is simple to learn, has great training resources (very important if you have staff turnover and need to train new employees) and it works.

Advantages:

  • much less time consuming – setup, conversion & on-going maintenance.
  • can input all documents – bound materials, original contracts, etc.
  • does not destroy original documents – you keep the original paper.
  • less expensive – use your existing equipment more efficiently.
  • no machines to break – you are using existing equipment.
  • database corruption is possible – however printed index is kept.
  • secure – not easily stolen, as files are indexed and file cabinets are heavy!
  • low learning curve – simple to learn in 30 minutes or less.
  • make filing almost…fun! – make filing less of a chore!

I’ve become a faithful devotee and I really don’t know how I managed before the Paper Tiger. Oh wait…I didn’t, did I? At least, not very well. So go on and check out Paper Tiger today and find your way out of your paper storm!
