The medical field has seen great advancement in creating digital networks for patient information. I think a similar system can be put in place for project management. Many components of a project are now outsorced including clinical trials. Keeping digital documentation would be easier to transfer each part of the project from one source to the next the same way you can have your medical history transferred electronically to any doctor you see. This would also provide an advantage within a company that assigns different portions of the project to different departments.
