There are now 36 million people using Internet coupons, or nearly quadruple the number from three years ago, according to a recent study released by Simmons/Experian Research and Coupons Inc.

Doculivery consolidates data from existing legacy systems.  XML programming and NET Framework.  The system allows for revisions and upgrades, advanced customization features, and customer-centric enhancements unmatched by older, less dynamic programming models.

So whether coupons or your latest payroll information is sent to your cell phone, consumers and business alike are finding the concept of going paperless minimizes exposure, saves money and prevents data loss.

Government and Business Find Value in Going Paperless

As part of his commitment to cut spending and reform government, President Obama is asking his cabinet to cut a collective 100 million dollars in the next 90 days. One measure of this cost cutting is the directive to go paperless. In response, the U.S. Attorneys and the U.S. Marshals Offices’ Asset Forfeiture program are converting publication of judicial forfeiture notices from newspapers to the Internet. This paperless initiative is expected to save $6.7 million over the first 5 years.

NATPAY‘s Doculivery system offers some of these same benefits to business. “Our clients are already seeing the benefits of going paperless.” says Jim Hagen, Vice President of Sales at NatPay.“ Our Doculivery product consolidates data into a unique web-based tool accessible from any Internet-ready location.”

Secure online pay stubs, W-2 and 1099 forms, invoices and customer statements are created and delivered in less time and at far less expense than traditional paper models Hagen says. “The savings extend far beyond the value of eliminated file cabinets and paper. Going paperless is a valuable business strategy in these economic times and it is a less expensive, more secure way of doing business.” Hagen explained.

Additional Doculivery features, include online payment, automated fillable forms, and targeted search and reporting tools. “These are in demand by businesses which are trying to modernize and streamline.” Hagen said.

“The Doculivery system adheres to all federal tax filing requirements and state payroll laws,” Hagen explained. “Our system is customizable and is designed to safeguard privacy. Businesses have immediate, convenient access to previous years’ tax and payroll documents. Users can quickly and easily produce documents required for audit, regulatory and legal purposes.” Hagen said. “Doculivery has become a must-have for many organizations.”

Both the government and businesses are finding greater security in encryption certificates and firewall protection. Both are also are finding that going paperless actually minimizes exposure, prevents critical file loss – the savings can be tremendous. The Department of State’s National Visa Center (NVC) will implement electronic correspondence for immigrant visa processing. The NVC anticipates the cost savings in the first year of implementation of this paperless process to be approximately $1 million. If necessity is the mother of invention, both government and business alike are finding the benefits in going paperless.

What Can Business Learn from Teenagers?

American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008. This averages nearly 80 messages a day and more than double the amount of a year earlier says a Nielsen Company rating.

“Businesses today are taking a paperless page out of the playbook teenagers use –find a simplified way of communicating,” comments Mark Williams, Marketing Director for National Payment Corporation’s EZStub. EZStub allows workers to review their pay through the receipt of text messages.

“Businesses today are finding ways to communicate with employees via texting rather than written paper processes. And businesses are quickly learning they can save money using an electronic pay stub solution. Companies can communicate more quickly while saving money by reducing paper and written records.”

 

EZStub’s added features include security, employer options and employee delivery options. “Security is the most important issues in business today and EZStub allows for specific user names and password options, ” according to Williams. “Payroll administrators also save time and effort because employees are able to obtain current and past pay stub information on their own with EZStub’s online self-serve features.”

Not only is this service readily accessible for the already texting teen market, the older generation benefits by the convenience and security. Companies are finding electronic pay stubs solutions like EZStub have eliminated written reports and reduced the cost of printing and delivering paper pay stubs.

With the growing and unlimited texting plans offered by carriers like AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless, American businesses will be turning more and more to a paperless solution for informing their employees of just how much they’ve earned.

It’s Time for Busting Out of the Old Paper Chase

With many fiscal years changing over and the calendar year nearly half over, businesses are using the month to sweep out the old and change to the new.

Many businesses are taking a “paperless” page from President Barack Obama’s efforts to shift to electronic records. In the medical field alone, Obama states that a change to electronic medical records could help save families up to $2,500 a year in his first term.

If businesses implemented such a change, they too could save money. One system that does this is NatPay’s Doculivery online document service. This innovative, high-tech, high-touch alternative incorporates a unique set of adaptable modular components that are customized to meet the needs of any organization.

Organizations of all types are realizing that manual and paper-based processes for managing documents are inefficient and expensive. Embracing the “paperless office” concept is possible with today’s electronic document management systems.

“Businesses are seeing the benefits of decreasing paper work.” says Jim Hagen, Vice President at National Payment.

“Doculivery consolidates data into a unique web-based tool accessible from any Internet-ready location. Secure online pay stubs, W-2 and 1099 forms, invoices and customer statements are created and delivered in less time and at far less expense than traditional paper models,” says Hagen. “Additional features, including online payment, automated fillable forms, and targeted search and reporting tools are in demand by businesses that are trying to modernize and streamline.”

Other benefits companies are finding in going paperless include:
•Eliminating constant trips to the filing cabinet for documents that can be accessed with a click.
•Protecting documents from natural disasters such as fire, flood, earthquake, etc.
•Reclaiming office space by reducing or eliminating the need for file cabinets.
•Improving customer service by being able to respond to requests from customers faster and more efficiently.

Hagen continued, “For the most part the savings extend far beyond the value of eliminated storage cabinets and paper. Going paperless is a valuable business strategy that reduces a cumbersome world and provides a less expensive, yet more secure way of doing business.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix Doculivery Case Study

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix (BGCMP) provides services to more than 32,250 boys and girls annually, operating a total of 12 clubhouses throughout the central and west area Valley, a full-service dental clinic, and outreach services.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix enables all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The BGCMP’s focus is to provide quality after-school programs, under the supervision of a professional staff that supplement and enhance their learning and nurturing environments. Like every other organization in these trying economic times, BGCMP was looking for ways to cut costs. One focus area to reduce costs was to start with payroll.

“Our main goal when looking for an alternative to issuing paper direct deposit pay stubs to our employees was to save costs,” says Andy Putman, Accounting Manager for BGCMP.

Other factors were key in searching for the ideal solution for their business problem. (i.e. security, file transfer, delivery options, user friendliness, roll out options, appearance of the pay stub, length of implementation, disaster recovery, cost, and financial stability of the vendor providing the service.

“We were concerned with online security, providing a user friendly system for our employees, implementation timeframes, and of course cost,” Putman remarked. “Ease of use was important because the easier a solution is to use, the more likely end users are to accept and support the change. Our current system can be somewhat inflexible at times, so integration support was key,” stated Putman.

One of the reasons why BGCMP chose Doculivery was security. When dealing with employees’ pay information, we wanted a trusted solution and NatPay’s system answered all of our concerns.

Flexibility was also very important because the more efficient and flexible a solution is, the less costly it is. Functionality was key because it leads to easier and greater acceptance by end users. Doculivery provided BGCMP a customized payroll solution quickly and easily with an integration time of only weeks rather than months as with other online document management solutions.

“We estimate that Doculivery will save us over $2,300 each year in postage, paper, envelopes, and staff time in stuffing and mailing envelopes. This savings will increase over time given rising postage costs,” Putman stated.

When asked how the employees adapted to their new online pay statement system, Putman remarked “We have received nothing but positive comments from our staff. The most frequent comment is how easy Doculivery is to use. The staff at NatPay was extremely helpful in setting up Doculivery. We had some glitches because of our software, but NatPay was able to handle them without delay.”
