Expert in Digital Archiving
Elżbieta Nowak
Order in papers is my specialty
I have been working with documents for 14 years. I started when metal cabinets and bulging binders ruled the offices, and today I help move those resources to the computer. However, I don't do it by force. I believe technology should help, not complicate life for people who have worked according to proven schemes for two decades. At the Corporate Innovation Embassy, I ensure the change is almost unnoticeable for the daily rhythm of the office.
My approach is primarily about respecting old rules that work. If your folder labeling system has worked since 1998, I don't delete it. I simply digitize it. In the last year, I helped 47 companies from Greater Poland gain control over the chaos in archives. One of my clients, a warehouse from Luboń, managed to shorten the time to find an old contract from 11 minutes to just 18 seconds. These are real time gains seen every month.
- Building a folder structure that is logical for every department.
- Implementing scanning systems without buying unnecessary equipment.
- Training teams in archive operation in just 3 hours.
- Securing data from unauthorized access.
We implement technology where tradition and peace matter. I am not interested in being gadgety. I choose tools that are simple and don't break what already works. I often repeat that the best system is one employees forget about because it simply makes it easier for them to write emails or issue invoices. (I'll admit myself that sometimes I still like the smell of paper, but the convenience of a digital archive simply wins in daily work).
Privately, I live in Poznań's Jeżyce and highly value local, reliable order. I can be stubborn about guarding procedures, but thanks to that, my clients don't fear tax controls or lost documents. If you've had enough of the piles of paper on your desk, we can talk about it. We will establish a specific action plan and a quote within 24 hours of our first meeting.
PS. The first meeting usually lasts 45 minutes and ends with a specific list of steps you can implement immediately.
