Protecting Forests by Eliminating Printing
CRM Science is saving trees every day internally, and our clients are empowered to adapt a paperless structure through Salesforce technology. The lab coat team embraces the paper-free revolution by combining the use of cloud-based applications and avoiding printing documents that can be viewed, stored, or signed electronically.
CRM Science Vice President of Operations Laura Assayag said the company has avoided the use of paper when possible since the company was in its infancy.
“It’s easy to keep everything organized when it’s stored electronically. There have been so many times that I need a printed document from home when I’m in the office and can’t access it,” said Assayag.
Beyond limiting the use of paper internally, CRM Science provides solutions for clients who want to ditch the filing cabinets and paper-driven processes in favor of unified systems on the Salesforce platform.
Utilizing the Salesforce platform is an inherently forest-friendly way to manage business operations. Forms printed on paper are replaced with mobile applications. Records are stored securely in the cloud rather than in filing cabinets. And reports can be seen on any device that can access Salesforce.com.
Salesforce exceeds global industry standards to ensure everything stored in Salesforce clouds are secure. According to Salesforce Co-Founder Parker Harris, "Nothing is more important to our company than the privacy of our customers' data." In fact, the company is so dedicated to data security that they created Trust.Salesforce.com, which provides transparent status details on service availability, performance, security, privacy, and compliance to instill trust and confidence.
