How to Go Paperless and Save Money
Room:
Presenter(s):
350B
Kelby Hagar | Yellow Folder
Many school districts want to go paperless but don’t understand how it works or how much they can save. This session will
answer both questions. We’ll show how schools can save money
when they convert to a cloud-based records management system.
We’ll use research from Wharton and others on the cost of paper
records, then show the savings when they’re managed electronically. We’ll show how records can easily be filed and stored in
the cloud, whether these records are contracts, HR records, or
student records. Presenter: Kelby Hagar is a Harvard-educated
lawyer and CPA who has successfully built many software companies.

the effectiveness of your IT investment from three perspectives:
people, processes, and technology. We will share a proven methodology for evaluating your organization and governance, process
and procedures, and the technology itself. We will discuss best
practices for a variety of different sized organizations with benchmarks and dashboard examples.
