The Paper Tiger software is a breakthrough technology that uses the power of the computer to organize documents stored in file cabinets. Instead of filing paper documents by the letters of the alphabet, users file documents numerically. Instead of one "magic" word, users assign as many key words as they like. The Paper Tiger is unique in that it is not just software, but rather software combined with a proven methodology for personal organization and effective paper management. The application and the multimedia module that comes with it enable users to organize and manage paper more effectively. In addition, the software now seamlessly integrates with the new Google Desktop product that allows you to instantly find almost any electronic file stored on your computer.
The Paper Tiger is designed to allow users to keep paper in its original form, without the need or expense of using a scanning-based system.
Instant Retrieval
The Paper Tiger software features a powerful search engine that allows users to quickly locate any document in their office, virtually eliminating the time wasted looking for lost information. It also finds any related files at the same time.
Electronic Files
Through The Paper Tiger's tight integration with the new Google Desktop product, the user can now instantly and easily find not only their paper files but electronic files. The Google Desktop is easy-to-use and set up is a snap. Also, the Google Desktop is a free download from www.google.com.
Database of Documents
The database of documents created by The Paper Tiger software can be searched, printed out and sorted by number, location or category for rapid retrieval of files.
Easy to Use
Tested in the field for more than three years, the easy-to-use application provides wizards to help users set up and maintain their files.
Total Solution Approach
The kit includes The Paper Tiger application and a full-motion multimedia tutorial, and pre-printed file folder tabs together with a proven methodology for turning clutter into resources and paper into profit and peace of mind.
Personal Library
Bills, client information, taxes, product information, magazine articles, manuals, correspondence, pamphlets and brochures can be indexed and filed in The Paper Tiger. Through the years, it becomes valuable resource for research and reference purposes.
Reports and Labels
The Paper Tiger allows users to print out multiple reports, including an index of all the files in their office, sorted in any order they like. The Paper Tiger also prints out numbered labels for hanging files and manila file tabs.
Action Dates
The Action Date feature allows users to print out "to do" lists to track the next action required for a certain file. Action Dates also help users comply with retention guidelines set by legal statute, tax code, company policy or personal preference.
Independence
The program's flexible key-word indexing system frees users from dependence on others to locate files, a feature that comes in handy on nights and weekends or when the assistant is gone.
Shared Information
With the network version of the product, users can share access to files, while maintaining the ability to keep some files private. Users can start with the single-user version and upgrade to the network version.
Multiple Uses
While The Paper Tiger is designed to help users effectively manage paper, it also enables them to quickly organize software, books, magazines, binders, cassette tapes, videotapes and music - virtually anything you can attach a number to!
Division of Tasks
The Paper Tiger makes it possible to divide up and delegate sorting, indexing, tabbing and filing functions.
Usage Enriched System
Users will constantly condense their files and find better and more key words to use, all of which makes the system more streamlined and robust -- with no effort on their part.
Automatic Cross Referencing
Users can cross reference the information in as many ways as they like and change their minds as many times as they like -- adding, deleting or editing key words right from the computer.
Low Maintenance
Because the physical files are labeled numerically (1,2,3), they can be set up ahead of time and simply added to as needed. No more fussing with plastic tabs and inserts every time users want to file a document. No more struggling with the one "magic" word to write on the tab. Because the system is accessed randomly using the computer, there is no need to rearrange existing files to add new ones.
