I had a few gentlemen in to talk to my class about careers in information technology. Two of them were from Cisco, and one from AT&T.
The Cisco team mentioned that about 5 years ago, they made a company commitment to go completely paperless for all in-house operations.
If anyone needs to check their information, paycheck, sick days, request leave, etc. It is all electronic.
Why don't we do that?
If we made a genuine commitment to do it, we could shift everything over to electronic format.
A glowing example is the websense unblock/block form.
Why in the world isn't that a web form?
I mean, the laptop and lab request forms are outstanding, but with the amount of paperwork we have to do, I find it irritating when there are still things that must be done by hand.
A running tally of things that should be webified:
Websense block/unblock
Sub Request forms
Request for leave
Work order
Auditorium Request Form
Request for disbursement
More to come.
