Xerox’s new Digital Alternatives Tool, a simple desktop and mobile assistant technology that automates paper-based workflows that exist within any large organisation, will help enterprises move closer to a more digital, paper-less work environment.
 
The workflow solution supports today’s mobile work population, providing the ability to complete multiple workflows within a single application and without the need for paper, said a company statement.
 
Mike Feldman, president of Large Enterprise Operations, Xerox, said: “Printing less isn’t just about using less paper – it’s about working smarter, improving productivity, connecting with clients faster and using data to bolster business.”

“At first thought, we may be an unlikely source to say ‘print less’, but we bridge the digital and paper worlds to help enterprises better understand, protect and use information more intelligently,” he added.
 
With Xerox Digital Alternatives users can easily sign, annotate, share, save and read documents from one interface. There’s no need to print documents, convert files or toggle between different programs and digital versions; a time-saving and efficiency gain.  
 
The secure, intuitive interface can be deployed across Microsoft Windows-based PCs and Apple iPad tablets. Since work is no longer a place, Xerox Digital Alternatives synchronises documents automatically on most personal devices for use by mobile employees, it added.
 
Real-time analytics of the document cycle also give enterprises insight on how to better manage their migration from paper-based working to digital.

The Xerox Digital Alternatives Tool, allows users to:
•    Process work safely and securely, and streamline ad-hoc paper based processes.
•    Collaborate instantly through a unified sharing capability.
•    Synchronise work automatically across personal devices.
•    Remain productive away from the office, even when working unconnected.

Tools like this are critical to help enterprise’s unlock knowledge capital – in both paper and electronic form. Xerox’s three-phased approach to MPS – assess and optimise, secure and integrate, and automate and simplify – helps clients manage their information demands more effectively, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
