In this episode, Jeff walks us through how he setup his business to be almost completely paperless. He talks about the software, hardware and workflow he uses to accomplish this. Here are a list of software/hardware Jeff and Guillermo use:
Also, we discuss an article I wrote titled: Java is not the new COBOL. As you can imagine, there were people with opinions on both sides of the fence.

I love to learn and more importantly I love to teach. Hoarding knowledge is one of the most petty and selfish things you can do, especially as a contractor. This is why I always make it a point to document and share my knowledge with my client's employees"

Keep your “foul” language, its authentic.
Interesting stuff about the paperless thing, didn’t know all the OCR stuff was working so well in the of the shelf apps.
A thing that bugs me is the security of the “digital signature”. I wonder when there will be a big scandal in the news and only real digital signatures are accepted. I fear you didn’t mention anything about that. Any problems with adoption?
I wouldn’t worry about the digital sig. Its no different than someone forging your signature. If someone is gonna do it, they are up for a nasty felony if proven and photoshopping is pretty darn easy to determine. Go with the flow… the electronic paperless thing is gaining and I think I saved 5 pieces of paper this year in my files
I may have saved 3-4 big trees this year alone!
Thanks for listening!
