Laptop scanners benefit people in multiple ways, not the least important of which includes saving companies cash in printing out documents: the typical company that has 1,000 employees or more will waste between $6 million and $12 million each year searching for information that does not exist, failing to discover existing information, or making new information that was not able to be found. This is all according to International Data Corp., which researches how much information is used electronically and in paper form and how the difference could mean significant cost savings for commercial entities. Also according to IDC, 95 percent of information that is business related is on paper, with the typical worker printing out 45 sheets of paper each day. How laptop scanners could bring this number and cost down significantly is gaining an interest among companies tired of wasting their money on these efforts and on this paper.
