Did you know that business records have a cost and risk associated with them?

Documents needed by customers, employees and others can be increasingly difficult or even impossible to find.
Important records are sometimes accidentally discarded or removed without proper authorization.
Active files are growing by approximately 25% per year, and present filing systems are no longer able to handle the growing volume.
Offices are unnecessarily housing documents no longer required for day- to-day business activities.
Office space is becoming crowded with filing cabinets. Cabinets require 9.6 sq. ft. of floor space (cabinet base, file use space, and passageway space for other staff) to house, provide access to, and allow employee traffic while drawers are open and in use.
There are no company policies regarding retention schedules, and old records are kept just in case and stacked up in closets and passageways because no one is sure what should be done with them.
Important categories of critical records, like vital and archival records go unidentified and unprotected. Some may even be thrown out with the trash!
Records are exposed to dust, dirt, rodents, insects, mold, mildew - all of which increase the deterioration of records.
Corporate image suffers when records needed by customers or auditors are missing.
