Beam ME Up Scotty !

What causes us to resist change? For several years now I have constantly preached the benefits of Scanning documents and sending them out by email. The legibility factor his huge. Specifically when you look at issues of clarity as it relates to the Old Mighty Fax.

How long have scanners been around? This not new technology and certainly the price point is so low it is almost as if they are paying you to take them. Yet day in and day out the use of the Fax machine as the primary sender of documents remains.

I have heard of some people who have said they would like to fax but cannot find a program that doesn’t cost a fortune. Most of your common software applications have a scan and or acquire feature today. As well as most if not all of the scanners have programs built in or have software included.

Several years ago I bought a simple little software program from downloads . com called Scanout. This utility allows you to scan in black and white color and a few other methods. You can use it with your flat bed scanner or document feeder. It then creates a PDF file and allows you to save where ever you like. The program only cost $29 or so and still performs excellent today.

Not only that but my computer crashed once and I emailed the folks at Scanout and they sent me a new version with no charge, this was after I already had owned it for almost 2 years.

So what is causing you to resist this change? Are you pleased with working with illegible documents? Your Clients certainly deserve a legible copy of what they are signing. I know that in Oregon the Real Estate Agency would like to see it as well.

Are you ready to ’ Boldly Go ‘….. or are you a ‘ Just the Fax Ma’m ‘ type of person.
