Maintaining records of important documents not only keeps your office organized, it ensures your business’s credibility. Bank statements, tax records or contracts are among some of the documents businesses save as records, representing a significant investment in time and resources.

These records can be a key tool in protecting your organization’s liability in a variety of areas and can provide an essential audit trail. To make sure your business is storing documents correctly.

As many businesses know, hard copies of documents like contracts, banking records, receipts, employee forms, taxes or transactions accumulate over time. Although some important documents are often stored in file cabinets or desks, it’s challenging to store a business’ total records in one office location.

Most small to mid-size businesses think that professional records and information management (RIM) services are only for large companies or major corporations, so many choose to store their vital company documents in a variety of different places.

The idea of having a “paperless” office is a trending topic among of many business owners. With promises from a records management company to never lose a document, share information, and control access; it is easy to see why so many businesses are attempting to ditch paper and embrace technology.
