Many small companies tend to do all their documentation on paper which means having years and years of information in notebooks and binders which can be difficult to find if this information was necessary. Many big companies also document on paper but also use electronic programs and time stamps to save paper and becomes easier to find this information in a database. This way you’re saving more time when looking for a specific document. This would also mean it’s easier to see if anything was missed. When people are documenting during their research, they should make sure all their information is accurate and is done in a timely manner. Also many documents such as methods and SOPs can be changed, and when this is done electronically, it’s easier to access for anyone in the company. If everything was done on paper, many of these documents would take a longer time to be approved by different people and given to people to use at a later date then when doing it electronically. This would also solve the communication system between departments.
