Is it really easier? A physical object you probably only have one of and you can store it in a specific place. With the digital copy you have the problem of how to know which copy is the latest. And you have the problem of transfering the knowledge about how things are stored to new people. And problem when people quit their jobs. Storing a paper copy can be much easier than storing an electronic version.
