Paper workflow

In addition to the multitude of problems that are somehow obvious to everyone, I would like to single out such a phenomenon as paper workflow, which in itself is not a problem and at the same time looks like a relic of the past for me, one might say atavism.

Paper is needed for printing books for children, textbooks, bibles, postcards and everything that needs to exist not only in informational, but also in material form.

But as various kinds of documents, primarily various kinds: invoices, checks, waybills, etc., then paper in many cases can be replaced by electronic files and personal electronic signatures. The electronic form simplifies many areas of our activity, and maybe completely eliminates them, this kind of activity includes all accounting, notary services, as well as all documents that have a personal signature or seal, can be in electronic form. To do this, both the document itself and the signature must be in electronic form on the network.

That is, in addition to the damage to nature from the use of paper, it is simply less efficient and labor-intensive, since in other cases the document requires a personal signature or seal, and then the movement and physical storage of documents, which together is labor-intensive in itself, unlike storage and signing them electronically.

Thus, paper as a document in modern times is the same atavism as a landline phone, but unlike a landline phone, it is not naturally replaced by a more modern cellular phone, but simply disappears, replaced by an almost intangible signal on the network. Which is easier to store, transmit, access, use as a digitized source of information, that is, permanently use these documents for accurate economic analysis, without separately transferring information from paper to electronic form of a particular system, for example, a CPM system that monitors economic activities.

Probably using paper for documents is not the most useless use of resources, a lot of technical luxuries, such as new phones and cars, are much more environmentally damaging. But unlike a paper document, they are not necessarily entertainment, while the use of paper is not only an obsolete practice, but also a general law that prescribes spending time and resources on what is easier and faster to do in electronic form.

Blockchain technology can replace most documents, but in many ways its use also replaces the state as a bureaucratic machine that controls the flow of documents. It can even be said that the structure of modern states systemically depends on the control of paper workflow, including the issuance of money, which in essence are the same paper documents.

I agree that the states themselves are gradually reorganizing themselves on electronic rails, replacing paper workflow with electronic one. This is certainly a promising development path on which it is possible to create a system that is an order of magnitude superior in efficiency to the state, since it will not duplicate existing bureaucratic processes, but will think them over in such a way as to initially reduce them to the minimum that will be sufficient.

The OM system in this regard, not only does not require paper, but also significantly reduces the number of documents. So for the purchase and sale of goods, only one document is created and used, fixing the fact of ownership of a particular user, as well as all transfers and sales and further resale of goods.

One way or another, the task of Open Money is to minimize the number of actions required in order to carry out all commercial functions, without any special training.
