A paperless office is a work environment in which the use of paper is eliminated or greatly reduced.

This is done by converting documents and other papers into digital form.

Proponents claim that "going paperless" can save money, boost productivity, save space, make documentation and information sharing easier, keep personal information more secure, and help the environment.

The concept can be extended to communications outside the office as well.

Document imaging is an information technology category for systems capable of replicating documents commonly used in business.

Document imaging systems can take many forms including microfilm, on demand printers, facsimile machines, copiers, multifunction printers, document scanners, computer output microfilm (COM) and archive writers.

Document Imaging means the conversion of paper files (of any size or description) or microfilm / fiche to digital images.

A document management system (DMS) is a system (based on computer programs in the case of the management of digital documents) used to track, manage and store documents and reduce paper.

Most are capable of keeping a record of the various versions created and modified by different users (history tracking).

The term has some overlap with the concepts of content management systems.

It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems and records management systems.

The Portable Document Format (commonly referred to as PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.

Productivity software (sometimes called personal productivity software or office productivity software) is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video.

Its names arose from the fact that it increases productivity, especially of individual office workers, from typists to knowledge workers, although its scope is now wider than that.

s, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software.

They revolutionized the office with the magnitude of the productivity increase they brought as compared with the pre-1980s office environments of typewriters, paper filing, and handwritten lists and ledgers.

Some 78% of "middle-skill" occupations (those that call for more than a high school diploma but less than a bachelor's degree) now require the use of productivity software.

In the 2010s, productivity software has become even more consumerized than it already was, as computing becomes ever more integrated into daily personal life.
