I am not a big fan of all-in-one gadgets. Seldom do they do everything as well as a standalone device would. If you have no need for high end features however, maybe the savings gained would be the best in your situation.

Scanning plays a big part in my daily organizational needs. Receipts, documents and invoices are turned into digital PDF files and stored away for future use. Business cards are one of those unique areas that require special treatment.

Business cards are the best face-to-face way to insure that the recipient remembers who you are and how to contact you. How many times have you accepted a business card and a month later forgot where and why you received it?

(TIP) Immediately write information on the back of all business cards that you receive so that you do not forget why it is important.

Business card scanners are unique because they extract contact information from the card and post it into the correct fields of software such as Microsoft Outlook. So much time is saved through automation that the business card scanner will pay for itself on down the road. I suppose that you could carry around a Rolodex but why would you want to?

Business card scanners can be left in the office but they are compact enough to take with you as well. Instead of filing stacks of business cards away to organize at a later time – just do it now.

There is no better way to organize business cards and the information on them than a dedicated business card scanner.
