With online transactions becoming the norm, it is only fitting to switch to

electronic documents. Even though you’re used to submitting printed files as


original copies, you now have the option to fill out forms and sign business
agreements electronically.

But what exactly is an E document, and why do you need to make the
switch? It’s a must if you want to speed up transactions while safeguarding
confidential records.

This post gives an overview of what an electronic document is all about.

What Is an Electronic Document?
An electronic document, otherwise known as an E document or edoc, is a
type of digital file that you can upload, store, or share online. Instead of
producing a hard copy, you can create, manage, sign, and track E
documents remotely. There’s no need for bulky folders or filing cabinets,
thus saving space, ink, and paper.

Electronic documents come in multiple formats. The output usually depends


on the software used to generate the electronic file.

 If you’re using MS Word to create an edoc, it will most likely be saved as a


DOC or DOCX file.
 If you’ve created an electronic document in MS Excel, you need to view it in
a software or app that supports XLS files.
 If the edoc is a PDF, you can view it online via your web browser or use a PDF
reader like Adobe Acrobat.

Examples of Electronic Documents


Here are some examples of electronic documents that you might already be
familiar with:

 Healthcare records
 Personnel records
 Employment applications
 Non-disclosure agreements
 Sales agreements
 Rental agreements
 Credit or debit notes
 Purchase orders
 Request and confirmation memos
 Digital invoices

Suppose you want to create one of these documents without starting from
scratch. In that case, you can scroll through Fill’s wide selection
of professionally-designed templates. Choose one and edit it online using your
phone, tablet, or laptop.
Electronic Documents vs Paper Files: Which Is
Better?
Paper files have always been the go-to option for legal and business
transactions. Aside from not requiring software updates and maintenance, it
is easier to tell whether a printed document is authentic or forged. There’s
also zero chance of data breaches due to malware or virus attacks.

On the other hand, electronic documents are way better when it comes to
ensuring document confidentiality and organizing office records. They are
also less prone to physical damage or loss. Plus, you can use esignatures to
sign forms and agreements faster.

If you want to keep up with business modernization and improve workflow by


automating records management, you’re better off switching to electronic
documents.

The table below compares paper files and edocs.
