REAL Solutions for Reducing the Paper-Shuffling on Projects
We’ve been promised since the 1980’s that businesses would eliminate paper-based sources of recording and sharing information. While massive progress has been made on this front, a failure mode we still see in nearly every company we encounter is: A paper form or document was replaced by a digital version, but that’s as far as it went.

To Integrate Or Not To Integrate, That Is The Question
Businesses use lots of different software to take care of important tasks, such as accounting, file sharing and storage, Customer Relationship Management, or specialized operational apps.
