“No more paper”
“Uniformity in the way documents are saved (naming,
folders,…)”
“Overview of “what has been done” and what is to be expected.
Avoids having to search in a pile of paper…”
“Streamlining of the review and decision processes: they are quicker ,
more transparant, and better documented. Significant support to a
more uniformized and harmonized way of working within the whole
department.”
“Electronic reviews of proposal/decision docs: by writing in the
doc, the “back and forth” [of paper documents] between drafter
and reviewer is avoided […] Small errors can also be corrected
in the doc self.”
