Going green - does eDM work for the environmentally conscious?

UK business face an increasing volume of “good to be green” messages, many with related incentives or penalties. The UK Government has signalled its intentions by consolidating seven major programmes into a central Waste & Resources Action Programme. With effect from April 2010 WRAP will focus on four major priorities, one of these being Business Resource Efficiency.

Backing up the collective environmental conscience is a raft of alarming statistics and many of these are pertinent to the electronic document management (eDM) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) space. Irrespective of the more high tech end of the ECM/ knowledge management arena, it is in the reduction of paper from operations where the fundamental environmental benefits are created. Paper remains the primary information source for a major proportion of businesses.

Organisations implementing green IT strategies must achieve effective ROIs. This document sets out to highlight how eDM/ECM applications sit in this context and whether eDM works for the environmentally conscious.
