Even though most of the work at my accounting firm is handled electronically, we still need to create a paper trail for all of the calculations we make and the documents we send out. There have been times when I felt like I was drowning in a sea of paperwork at the office, and the only solution has been organization. I took a step back and found that the workers around me were going about business in a woefully inefficient manner.
The most egregious issue by far involved our procedure for printing, copying, scanning and faxing documents. Our machines were all so outdated that they could only perform a single function. This meant that we would have to run from one machine to the next just to complete a task. It was a nightmare easily solved by installing a Muratec multifunction machine. Since switching to the business hub, efficiency has improved to an unbelievable degree.

I’ve been working as a patent attorney for more than 20 years now, and while the job can be exhausting at times it’s also fulfilling. When I’m at work, my administrative assistant and legal clerks do most of the grunt work, which leaves me free to prepare arguments and pore over legal texts. Unfortunately, I often have so much work to do that I have to bring it home with me. When I’m at home, I have to do all the faxing, scanning and copying that would normally fall to my underlings.
Konica Minolta fax machines are an essential for any home office, mostly because they feature printing and copying capabilities in one compact unit. I’ve found that by keeping my home office organized, I get more work done there than I do at the office. It’s just a matter of staying focused on the task at hand and having all my supplies at my fingertips.
