Once, CEO entered my office about 15 years ago & seen some files, papers lying on my table.
He told me that your office table should be paperless. He actually meant not to leave any paper pending at your table.If the table looks paperless, it means that the concerned person is efficient at his/her work & completing the job in time.
Implementation of ERP has made the office almost paperless now.
Some paper work may remain, but ERP implementation has made it possible to eliminate almost all paper work.
