As SharePoint continues to gain market share as the go-to platform, some users may be wondering how to handle paper information in the digital world. In “SharePoint and Paper Belong Together,” Jeff Shuey attempts to start a discussion on the importance of paper information and how to work with partners to manage paper-born information.

It’s easy to work with SharePoint and paper. A few examples have been documented in this post about the Ideal Capture Strategy for SharePoint and in this post where I discuss that SharePoint Adoption is not an Oxymoron. These are not the definitive discussion on what it means to get SharePoint and Paper working together. However, together these posts should help start a discussion and get people thinking and talking about what could be and what should be.

Bringing paper and digital information together is no doubt a challenge in our information age. It is a discussion worth having so that solutions continue to be made available for handling the ever-increasing variety of formats.
