Bulk document scanning
There are some good reasons why you might want to consider bulk document scanning for your business or practice.
Space and savings
Paper documents take up space. As many offices get smaller and collaborative workspaces become the norm, a dedicated filing or storage area can be costly. A room you use for storage and archiving is a room you can’t use for an office, a recreation space, a server, or desks – amongst many other things. Electronic storage however, takes up far less space and is getting cheaper by the day. Bulk document scanning can transfer boxes and boxes of paperwork onto just one USB stick, clearing physical space for actual revenue generating work.
Security
The increase in cyber-crime has raised some pressing concerns about digital security. If you’re a legal or financial entity, it’s crucial that company documents are kept confidential and secure at all times. Storing sensitive information electronically does have its risks, and relevant security measures must be put in place to mitigate hack-attacks.
Security isn’t an issue that’s limited to the digital realm, however: if you’re not using record management services, it can be easy to lose physical documents. Bulk document scanning helps mitigate some of the risks associated with this kind of storage. It’s much harder to lose track of an item that’s stored digitally in your own archives.
Searchable
Paper files need to be searched manually: a huge advantage of digital documents is that these files, as well as certain sections within each file, can be retrieved using keywords included in the document’s name or content. These keywords can be aligned with your company’s own internal filing system, ensuring consistency and mitigating the possibility of confusion.
Streamlined access
Easy access is another major advantage of digitally stored documents. If files are stored on the cloud, information can be accessed from anywhere at any time. When work teams are spread out over various geographies or travel regularly to see customers, mobile access to important data provides greater flexibility and efficiency.
