Mopria Workflow Survey: Paper is Still Important in Office Workflows

Submitted: The Two Sides Team May 13, 2019

Mopria, a global non-profit formed to provide standards and solutions for printing and scanning, has released the results of their Mopria Workflow Survey. The findings indicate that paper is still important in office workflows. The survey results refute a common assumption that workers prefer digital only workflows and demonstrate balanced preferences between paper and digital media. Mopria surveyed 1,377 individuals between the ages of 25 to 65 who work in an office setting. Among the key findings, the results showed that:

84% take notes on paper
80.5% of workers enjoy the feel of pen and paper
71% believe they are more likely to remember their notes later if they take it on paper

“In a world with highly digital workflows, we were surprised to find that such endearment still exists for traditional handwritten notes,” said Greg Kuziej, Chairman of the Board at the Mopria Alliance. “It follows the old saying, ‘the faintest ink is more powerful than the strongest memory’.”
