EasyReach™ service complements the
Paper Tiger productivity system

Paper Tiger Software and EasyReach Bridge “Productivity Gap”

If you have trouble staying organized and finding the documents you need, there is a solution. Software for your PC and your cell phone from two companies, The Paper Tiger and EasyReach™ Corporation, can work together to bridge the gap between the productivity you need to achieve, and the incredible volume of information you need to access everyday.

The paperless office is, for all practical purposes, unattainable for the foreseeable future. In fact, computers are generating more office paperwork than ever before. Effective productivity solutions, therefore, must recognize that today's office is filled with information in both paper and electronic form.

Think you're the only one overwhelmed by this problem? A recent IDC white paper, The High Cost of Not Finding Information, reported that the typical knowledge worker spends about 2.5 hours per day or roughly 30% of the workday searching for information.

The Paper Tiger software (based on the best-selling book series “Taming the Paper Tiger” by Barbara Hemphill), is a document filing system that uses the PC to help workers get organized and stay organized.

“We describe the product as a paper management application rather than a document management application intentionally, to distinguish it from scanning-based applications, says Jim Grady of Atlanta-based Monticello Corporation, developer of The Paper Tiger software. “Unlike scanning-based products, The Paper Tiger software is designed to allow users to keep paper in its original form, without the need to use a scanner [emphasis added].”

EasyReach service completes the bridge over our ‘productivity gap' by using keywords or phrases to find and deliver electronic documents stored on the user's PC or online storage, using a cell phone or any PC, anywhere in the world. EasyReach searches within text documents, spreadsheets, e-mails (along with their attachments), address records and calendar items. EasyReach software includes a comprehensive desktop search tool, searching over 350 file types. With EasyReach service, workers are never out of touch with the important information they need.

Wherever they are, EasyReach's remote access can find and deliver items on their PCs from any smartphone or browser within seconds. On a BlackBerry, for example, just fire up the EasyReach application and do a simple keyword search. There's no need to remember where the information is stored; only a word in the document on your remote PC. Once found, the worker can instantly fax the document or send it to any e-mail address.

The EasyReach service includes its own desktop search-and-indexing application and will also work with Google Desktop Search or any of the popular desktop search (DTS) offerings. Google Desktop Search is supported in 2006, and in 2007 the company will support Microsoft's Windows Desktop Search application in the Vista OS, as well as Apple's Spotlight desktop search application.

Together, these software solutions from The Paper Tiger and EasyReach service make your job easier, whether the information you need is in paper or electronic form. The Paper Tiger software is a powerful filing system for paper documents that workers can then track on their PC. Combined with EasyReach remote access capabilities, you don't even need to be in your office to find and deliver relevant information important to you and any job you need to get done.
