Popular Post schweizer Posted February 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Having been around IT systems for over 30 years I have lost count of the number of times I have seen companies start their paperless office projects, as a rule they generally then generate more paper than the system they are replacing Edited February 4, 2015 by schweizer 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Anthony5 Posted February 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2015 So next time I file my balance sheet with the revenue department, I will not have to take a copy of my passport anymore, but I will still have to place around 75 signatures on the 5 copies of all the documents involved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaltsc Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How about Immigrations? "The benefits of moving to a cloud based system would allow the government agencies to lower operational costs and reduce the chances of human error." Immigration isn't interested in lowering costs or reducing human error. They only want to bust our ____s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Having been around IT systems for over 30 years I have lost count of the number of times I have seen companies start their paperless office projects, as a rule they generally then generate more paper than the system they are replacing ---------------------------------- Agree. The U.S mi;itary years ago started a "reduction in paperwork' : initiative. To be honest it has simply generated more paperwork. Beaurecrats just love documents.. I rememmber being in the U.S. Army and i had to send: A daily report A weekly summary of daily reports A monthly "report of reports", which summarized the weekly reports for that month. And finaaly a yearly report of monthly reports. I wish that was a joke, but it is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulc01 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How about Immigrations? It's already happening with the 90 day report. I no longer need to fill out a form at my Immigration Office. Just give them the passport, they "read it," print out a new 90 day notice and staple it in the passport. Fast and easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How about Immigrations? You mean this place? Not likely. One of those stacks is probably mine, because over the past 25 years I had to submit the same bunch of documents over and over and over again, regardless whether any information contained in them had changed or not since my last visit.

On my last report, I went in with the form filled out ahead of time, as usual, and they specifically told me not to do it again. Just come in, put my passport in a basket, then they scan it, print out the new 90 notice (instead of tearing it off the bottom of the form like they used to do) and I'm out the door in less than a minute or two. But, yea, all offices are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give them the passport, they "read it," print out a new 90 day notice and staple it in the passport. Fast and easy. Still need a copy of the passport, extension of stay stamp and departure card. Now the 90 day report is something we should be able to do online without going to the office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givenall Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 They are already paperless. Every time we need to do anything we have make all the copies and not the Government. So they are paperless but not us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
