Is your office equipment suffering from a hangover? Could your document channels use an extreme makeover? Xerox Canada offers 10 New Year's resolutions that will trim document fat and boost productivity.

1. Find security: Consider storing critical digital documents in a repository offsite that employees can access from anywhere in the world. Make sure your office equipment provider understands your security needs.

2. Follow Colour Trends: Research shows most people believe using colour in documents signifies success and professionalism.

3. Keep lean: Consolidate assets and reduce energy costs: make sure you have the right product for the job. Use networked printers for workgroups or replace individual copiers, faxes and printers with multifunction systems.

4. Get active: Study equipment activity reports to improve efficiencies. Take time to digitize your world by scanning documents into digital format and reduce your office's overload.

5. Enjoy some downtime: Take full advantage of power-saver features built into your systems. Look for products with the "seal of approval"
from environmental organizations like EnergyStar.

6. Invest in the future: When purchasing office products focus on long-term performance and substance rather than short-sighted smoke and mirrors. Remember: you get what you pay for!

7. Build self-esteem: Produce documents that reflect your creativity, resonate confidence and showcase ingenuity. Insert graphics, charts and colour to make a statement.

8. Think green: Buy equipment with recycled and reused parts. Also try to conserve paper by using two-sided printing.

9. Assess your world: Re-think the way you work by eliminating hidden productivity issues associated with heavy volumes of paper and electronic documents in the office.

10. Stop procrastinating: Begin resolutions today and watch your office shape-up in no time.
