A Friday question I have just been asked a question about the amount of paper we store and whether we could expect this amount to reduce over the coming years based on us becoming ever more reliant on electronic systems. The theory is that as things go in to structured databases and we sweep up unstructured information in an EDRMS and scan most of the rest in to the EDRM we end up with less and less physical stuff to store. My experience of this is that the more we produce and store electronically the more we seems to have to store as paper. Does anyone know of any studies in to this? Has anyone actually charted a reduction in the amount of paper we have to store due to increase reliance on electronic systems or is there still a steady increase in the amount of physical stuff being stored?
