The think thank said in a report, Policy Exchange, which the British Government is wasting billions of pounds when working with paper documentation in their public services. In the article you can read that in order to carry the Government into the digital age ", all its activities shall be scanned, eliminating the use of paper.The report highlights the waste involved in operations such as the Crown Prosecution Service, which prints one million daily sheets, and other agencies that print forms that could be fully scanned. Adopting this recommendation could lead to a saving of €83 billion ($ 250 billion) until 2020.A total transformation of Government to digital technologies would also put an end to the productivity gap between the public and private sectors, adds the report. According to Edie, the Cabinet Office Minister, Francis Maude, says that the report recognises the "extraordinary potential" of this alternative."We estimate that the change of government transactions to digital channels can save € 1.4 billion ($ 4.3 billion) by 2015. This will provide a better value for the working families and better public services designed around users ' needs. In the future, all government services will be fastest, practical, agile and fingerprints, "said Maude.The director of Policy Exchange and author of the report, Chris Yiu, argues that "the change to digital in everything the Government does would generate a savings of billions of pounds that could be used to reduce the deficit or improve public services".A survey commissioned by the Two Sides, an initiative that seeks to promote the production and the responsible use of paper and prints by supply chain companies of graphic communications, found that 54% of companies agree that paper records are more sustainable and 68% means that impressions "are based on a renewable resource".
