Faster Access and Easier Document Retrieval

Since all of your important documents will be scanned and filed according to your specified criteria (by name, date, indexing, and the files and folder system you specify), they will be much easier to locate and access. All your documents will be scanned in high resolution and organized at your discretion. This will allow you to not only find and retrieve them faster, but also print them (if necessary) in hard copy format identical to the original scanned hard copy document. Electronic document archiving means that important documents can easily be available and printed, or shared electronically on CD, DVD, or USB.

Decreased Overhead

By law, all businesses are required to keep a record of all tax documents for seven years. Depending on your type of business, this can be an exceptionally high volume of important documents. In the past, businesses were forced to keep hard copies of everything. All those hard copies would take up a lot of floor space and the cost of this excess storage would add up quickly, negatively impacting the company’s overhead. Today, saving hard copies is an unnecessary expense. With electronic document scanning and archiving, companies can now keep an accurate record of all their important documents without having to keep any hard copies. So, if the tax department does request further information, any needed document can be instantly accessed and printed or shared using this electronic document management system.

Immediate Access to All Document Versions

During the process of doing business the same important document may undergo frequent changes or revisions and pass through the hands of numerous people. For a lot of companies, it is imperative to not only accurately document and archive each revision, but also be able to easily access and retrieve any specific revision as needed. Through every stage of the document’s creation every detail, edit, highlighting, addition, or revision can be scanned and archived, and then added to the electronic document storage and retrieval system. Document scanning and archiving is highly cost effective, highly efficient, and for today’s modern business practices, it is ideal for document storage and retrieval, as well as for efficient document distribution.
