If you are still on the fence, here are a few key points to consider for not relying on simplistic self-storing methods.

Retrieval time

According to research from PricewaterhouseCoopers, professionals spend 5 to15 percent of their time reading information and up to 50 percent of their time looking for it. Consider this scenario: an employee at a medical practice must find a patient file placed in a self-storage unit five years ago. He leaves the office, drives to the facility, finds his practice’s storage unit, punches in a key code and opens the door only to find boxes stacked upon boxes and quite often toppled over because the boxes on the bottom collapsed. Despite whether the boxes are labeled, the employee will still have to narrow down the right box and sift through its contents to find the needed file. This search could take anywhere from five minutes to a couple of hours, depending on how organized the practice was when boxing the files. Our records storage services can eliminate this tedious process, not only by retrieving and delivering the cartons or files, but also by indexing and organizing folders with our barcode tracking technology. The result? Less time (and money) is wasted searching for files so that you can focus on more important, day-to-day business operations.

Security

Whether records are locked in a 10-by-10 mini storage unit or are hidden in an office file cabinet, the possibility for a security breach is not out of the question – even with wired fences or padlocks in place. In addition, self-storage units, especially the older ones that are one-story or at ground level, are typically very damp and may be exposed to mold and even flooding.
By entrusting your privileged and proprietary banker boxes of records to DSC, you can rest-assured that your confidential records are protected from theft and unauthorized access. Data Storage Centers provides multiple layers of security with state-of-the-art technology, such as key card badge access, infrared cameras, sensor motions triggered by movement, and our 24-7-365 after hour’s security patrol, and our dedicated line to police and fire. Additionally, DSC offers a climate-controlled environment to safeguard records from the elements.

Retention and destruction

Too often, boxes and files stay much longer than needed in a self-storage unit, meaning that businesses are paying for space that either they no longer need or that could be used in other ways.
Whether or not a document retention policy is already in place, you can help yourself by practicing a retention guideline or institute one, to reduce your liability while maintaining compliance. Whether you consider purging records, after retention lifecycle requirements having been met, you’re in the driver’s seat and those records could be considered for the final disposition by using our certified document destruction services. Hence… adhering to regulatory state compliances and freeing up space while managing costs.

Costs

Inc. magazine estimates that it costs $20 to file a document, $120 to search for a misfiled document and $250 to recreate a lost document.
With your archiving service storing, managing, and retrieving files, businesses can realize significant cost savings in the long run. If you are currently storing files in the office, the company is essentially wasting space that could be used more efficiently. For example, a medical practice could convert a spare office into a lucrative MRI room, rather than using it to house dozens of disorganized boxes. Additional cost savings are uncovered when it comes to upholding records retention policies, refiling and shredding
