Whoever made up the saying “It’s not worth
the paper it’s printed on,” obviously had no idea
just how much that piece of paper costs from a
business standpoint. One study from Resources
Information Systems Inc. (RISI) estimates companies
spend about $8 billion per year just managing
paper. And that's only in the US. Expand that
globally, and it’s a world of pain.
Shuffling paper. It’s a bad deal.
