got documents?


A majority of companies today, large and small do not have adequate plans for recovery of the critical information that is the foundation of their organization. With all of the strides in technology today it is still surprising that over 90% of all company's records and vital documents are on paper, as they have been for hundreds of years. These documents are susceptible to all forms of loss or destruction. If a major disaster such as fire, flood or earthquake were to destroy these documents the cost for recovery and/or reconstruction of the lost data could be devastating. It has been reported that 70% of companies that cannot recover critical data within 90 days end up going out of business.

We provide to our clients the assurance of being able to recover 100% of their vital documents and records. We provide microfilm and electronic imaging solutions to on and off site storage and retrieval. The government and all courts consider microfilmed files in full compliance as original documents. Most states consider electronic image files as the same (for more information on state laws regarding imaging contact your state controller). By placing company records on microfilm or onto electronic media (CD-ROM, DVD-R, HDD etc.) and creating multiple copies, vital records can be stored in multiple locations. In addition there is no longer a need to warehouse large volumes of paper documents, the cost savings is tremendous
