If digital transformation is about using self-service web portals, robotic process automation and artificial intelligence, it’s clear that this will be a challenge for organisations that rely on paper-based processes, or don’t have the ability to act digitally today.

So, how can finance leaders address this tension between two fundamentally different types of information and different ways of working?

Paperlite is the ability for finance departments to blend digital and paper processes as they make the transition to a digital model. With this approach, they gain operational efficiencies and cost benefits of embracing digital technology, while improving their information governance and meeting the legal compliance requirements to store physical documents.

In this guide, we will outline the benefits of using the Paperlite concept, giving practical examples of where finance leaders can make changes to their processes and adopt digital technology to achieve quick wins and lasting gains.
