Digitalizing paper-based contracts
Digital contract register
You want to check that one provision of a contract. But where is it, actually? On your desk, in the safe, at headquarters? For that reason (but also for security reasons, for example) it is smart to store your contracts digitally in a secure cloud environment. To do this, you will have to scan in all your paper contracts. In principle, any organization can digitize contracts, as long as you take the right steps.
The physical contracts and attachments
Don't underestimate this step. Many organizations that are digitizing contracts for the first time have the paper versions scattered everywhere.
A scanner (preferably document scanner)
Suitable: Professional scanner (often present in larger organizations) Document scanner (input of multiple documents possible simultaneously).
Text recognition (OCR) software
You want to be able to search your contracts and attachments for content later. Therefore, it is important to apply text recognition right away.
