Are Your MSME or Work Files Ready to Go Storage in Digital?
Paperless?
Considering a paperless future for your business? Discover how digital storage offers money-saving opportunities, efficiency, and scalability for WFH jobs and MSMEs. While the future is paperless, a mixed approach with printed documents might still be necessary depending on your location, like for Pasig LGU requirements.
Online Digital Storage?
Going for digital storage is what paperless is all about. You can go for free digital storage services at first and then opt for a subscription when your work and business scale up and need a larger storage amount. Google One is a key option since it also offers some AI functionality integrated with the subscription. Microsoft OneDrive is also another option especially if you still have a Windows 10 laptop.
Just discover the right mix of both printed paper documents and digital files for your MSME in the Philippines.

Both printed paper documents and digital files storage
The Pasig LGU still processes printed paper documents in its Business Permit and Licensing Division (BPLD). You only need to adjust whatever is being asked for in the registration of a busines or its renewal.
The Pasig LGU has moved many registration processes and payments to Ayala Mall the 30th. It has also transferred much of its registration and renewal processing of documents in a temporary location in Rosario, Pasig. The documents that need to be printed and submitted to them are the certificate of business name registration from the DTI and your MSME certificate of authority. Having no printer is not a problem since there are many retail print shops in the City (and in the temporary location at Rosario, Pasig). And you can store the digital files of the DTI certificates in OneDrive or Google Drive for printing upon registration of your business.
Is investing in a printer still worth it?
Yes, if it would save you more time and money instead of outsourcing it to retail print shops.
- Common sense dictates that if your business needs to print documents aside from just the registration or renewal processing of documents needed by the Pasig LGU, then investing in a printer is a must.
The Future is Paperless
The latest articles online say the direction of the future is paperless.
This is the direction the country is also following as it adopts new technologies.
The direction to go for digital storage is a wise decision to make since the Philippines is opening up to world trade. In the global arena, whether big or small, all businesses in the Philippines have to learn and adapt to the advancing technologies that are contributing to the responsible care of peoples and environments.
Going for digital files storage is not only a cost-effective direction; it is a decision for efficiency, productivity, and the capability to scale your business in the long term .
One element of success for any work or business is the readiness and availability to shift strategies more quickly. Uncertainties in the global economy are not good news, but they are opportunities for small businesses who can enter niche markets from which others bigger than them have withdrawn from. What is important also is flexibility. When digital file storage is replaced by something even better, then flexibility can make a small business shift quickly in this changing environment.
Whatever your job or profession, business or non-profit, what is important now is to stay focused on the basics - the fundamentals. Anyone who fosters a stay positive attitude and cultivates a growth mindset is certainly poised for success as the local and global economy revives. These are the things that we can do: stay focused and work on what is within one's area of control and expertise.
