Lansing Document Storage
Have you considered how much time and effort your staff spends on document storage and retrieving documents? Do you have a policy or system for how long to keep documents? Do you know how much staff time is spent looking for files? And what happens when a file isn’t found? What do you do then?
Record Nations Lansing will link you with document storage professionals who will help you to design an affordable and secure storage process for your physical and digital files. In Michigan, lawyers are advised to keep trust account records and client property for five years after the representation ends. Some legal matters, such as those involving minors, estate planning or trust funds, may require files to be kept longer.
Doctors have to keep patient files for at least seven years after the last professional contact. Dental records have to be kept longer. That means a lot of office space dedicated to paper and clients that are no longer generating income.
Storage Options for Business
- Physical Document Storage
Moving your paper files away from your office frees up square footage and your documents can be stored in a secure environment. Record Nations’ network partner facilities will make sure that your files are protected during all types of disasters, are monitored around the clock and have temperature controls to prevent paper from degrading. You can retrieve your documents whenever convenient and can track your retention schedules.
- Cloud Storage and Services
Cloud storage lets you remotely access your business records while the physical files are stored safely away from your worksite. You could also decide to still keep them in your office while also having a digitized copy of each file. Storage options offer unlimited storage capacity for digital files. Added protection features can include encryption and two-factor authorization.
- Document Management System Software (DMS)
Document management systems (DMS) use advanced software to automate document management. The system will simplify your workflow by managing retention schedules and organizing documents.
To start the storage process, you’ll be asked to do the following:
- Estimate how many documents your company needs to store off site, including any with exceptional size or special storage needs. Decide if you will need scanning or document destruction too.
- Call Record Nations to get free quotes on services from storage providers in your area. Choose your new provider and schedule when work will begin to get your documents into secure storage.
