The Hirdaramani Group’s IT arm, HOne Ltd., has plans to clear office desks of paper and make filing cabinets redundant, with their latest partnership with an innovative cloud-based software from leading US-based Software company, One Paper Lane. 

H One, the No. 1 cloud provider in Sri Lanka is adding another chapter in their evangelical manual of cloud-based services, with the launch of this innovative softwaredesigned to address the mundane yet very necessary business activities such as handling documents and forms in emails, and other paperwork with ease and more importantly, minus the clutter. 

H One CEO Samath Fernando says that over 80% of what companies do in their day-to-day operations can be simplified, sped-up and made more accurate with the deployment of One Paper Lane.

“This solution is also very much in line with our Cloud strategy. It does not to replace ERP systems that deal with the higher end of business operations but more to do with supporting programs such as Microsoft Office that deal with internal and external communications and document management by digitalising forms. ERP solutions cover business systems while the rest – be it HR documents or documents that support sales processes – is still on paper. That is where One Paper Lane can make a difference. This is not a complex solution but a very simple one which can save large to medium or small scale businesses both time and money.”

He says that another unique featureof One Paper Lane is its traceability of documents from office to office within a local or regional network, creating a smooth workflow without the need for a lengthy paper trail of documents and record ledgers.

Gaurav Mirchandani, Founder and CEO of One Paper Lane, a Software as a Service (SaaS) company, says that their solution is the perfect way of reducing clutter; an issue faced by many organisations whatever the industry they are in. He says that as the world moves towards a digital age, more and more clients areadoptingan automated – paperless solution for their business.”

“From a sustainability perspective it’s a solution that helps companies to stay green. “Apart from paper, companies who eliminated manual filling of documents, forms, and other paperwork, also saved on toner, printing costs, energy and time, which not only helped them to become more efficient but also reduced their impact on the environment. Analytics show that companies reduce tens of thousands of sheets of paper each month using our solution,” says Mirchandani.

According to Fernando, One Paper Lane as it comes as a Software as a Service, is also minimal in cost and does not require the use of large servers and high tech equipment.

“It can be used across a desktop computer to a laptop, tablet or even a mobile phone with a 7”screen. It also prevents wasted energyand paper for e.g. HR departments who usually generate documents to gather employee information etc., can be digitalise their forms to save energy as well as clutter. What we are offering is actually a very simplified and safe digital repository called the Digital Vault, with assured disaster management,” he said.

“We believe in a beautifully designed application and simplicity, and ensuring H One clients optimise business processes by adopting a paperless office, and make better information driven decisions. Companies can upload their own forms and documents and our platform automates everything in minutes. No more hassle of printing, filling, signing, scanning…complete documents, sign, collaborate all in real time from your computer or any device. Send and manage alerts and notifications. Anywhere. Anytime,” added Mirchandani. 

He says the idea for One Paper Lane came from one of his own experiences. “Completing a simple NDA can take up to 20 min by the time you print, review, fill, sign, scan, and send. Whether it be hiring an employee, managing customers, vendors, or signing a real estate transaction across the world, the whole process takes too long. So imagine the number of people who can now complete business and transact more effectively by using One Paper Lane anywhere including on an aircraft with just a WiFi signal. We are the first company to integrate everything in one easy to use platform. We call it ‘Eliminating Paperwork with Happiness’.”

Since its inception in 2008, H One has earned a reputation for empowering clients with the most innovative technology solutions. Recognised as a leading Cloud Deployment Partner and regional consultant, the company has deployed over 20,000 cloud seats in Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand and adopts global best practices including those advocated by the Microsoft Center of Excellence Team for Office 365. 

Having helped both large scale conglomerates as well as medium-sized business to make their great stride to the cloud over the last three years, are now looking to change the way organisations look at IT solutions, helping to take local commerce to a new level of visibility.
