Saves on film, and in some applications, would allow quicker access to image enhancement techniques (You just have to say the word "enhance" and hit a single key, right?).
Things that should
not go digital; many of our applications for insurance are now digital. Save's paper! Go green! Right? But they're legal documents that require physical signatures - so you have to print them anyway. Often, since more business is coming from over-the-phone or internet transactions, you need to print them
twice, so that when the purchaser fails to sign and return the first, you have a backup copy (digital copies aren't always available after the fact). So by going green, I'd estimate we use 30% more paper than before.
