digital transformation expectations in the workforce| 3 - y soft · digital transformation...

Most organizations are undergoing some kind of digital transformation. Ostensibly,

they are driven to this change by the productivity improvements and to stay

competitive in the market.

Y Soft, as a solution provider that enables organizations to improve productivity

through print and document capture workflows, wondered what employees think about

their company’s digital efforts, or lack thereof.

Interesting highlights:

• Sixty percent said their company did not have any policies about printing and

seventy percent said there were no scan policies

• Despite a company’s belief that digital workflows will make employees more

productive, employees believe that scan to email is a productive use of their time

• Over 50% of employees think their company has too many paper-based processes

and all that printing has a negative environmental impact

• Fifty-four per cent are using cloud storage, whether it be company-owned or

personal accounts

.

Digital Transformation Expectations in the Workforce| 2

In August, 2017, Y Soft commissioned a survey of 100 (N=100) employed individuals

in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 44 to ask about their view related to digital

transformation and their workplace expectations. The wide-ranging survey was

conducted via SurveyMonkey and serves as an indicator of what companies should

know about how their employees feel about their company’s digital reputation and

meeting the needs of millennial and early-stage career employees.

More information about survey participants can be found in the demographics section.
