Manual document archiving is a cumbersome and labour intensive process. Companies can rapidly accumulate enormous amounts of paper, consequently requiring plenty of archiving space. It is also extremely time consuming to search for documents from a large manual archive. When searching from even a well organized paper archive, one must remember time, date, document name or a combination of these search factors to find the correct binder and to identify the correct document. If the search is based on the document content or the search factors are unknown, the search can be extremely frustrating.

With a centralized manual archive, employees might copy important documents to their personal archives in order to have the information on hand. In many organizations a large amount of paper copies, such as contracts and handled invoices, is usually saved in personal archives.. Manual document archives also take up an employee’s valuable time to search for the correct invoices, contracts and financial documents; copy them to personal binders and to deliver them around the organization.
