Using Document Storage to Digitise Your Office

Document Storage

Implementing document storage to increase digitisation is an effective way to reduce these risks.

Digital storage provides a method for storing and locating files in an organised fashion, whenever and wherever you are through web-connected devices. If implemented properly to suit the business needs and desires, storing data online can be the big step needed to become digitally transformed.

Office Digitisation Advantages

Office space saving and waste reduction will both be achieved through effective document storage, as physical copies will no longer be necessary to hold. Where physical copies were once stored, additional office space will be created. If offices have off-site archiving storage, this can also be removed altogether to either use for alternative business operations, or simply sell for monetary value.

Saving space through digitisation will in turn produce cost savings by removing or reducing money spent on owning, renting and up-keeping property which hold physical documents. Having electronic document storage processes will also dramatically minimise the costs spent on printer consumables.

Storing documents on an information management system make it easy for employees to access, print, share or amend documents. The ability to share documents electronically greatly speeds up document processes within the business, as appose to printing physical documents for individuals.  Additionally, if this document storage has keyword processes attached, it makes retrieval of data faster and encourages department communication through collaboration, improving the overall productivity.

Another benefit which digital document storage can provide is increased data control and security, enhanced further by levels of personal authorisation. Storing documents online reduces the risk of data being lost through automatic back-up systems and minimises the risk of unwanted individuals gaining access to sensitive data.

Apogee’s Document Scanning is another method to digitise your document processes and optimise office space. The scanning technology provides a high quality image capture from the documents scanned and allows them to be electronically stored. This document storage solution can also have barcode recognition and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) embedded within, to make processes more efficient. Instead of sifting through physical documents in storage units, barcode and OCR will make it easy to read electronic data without using excessive office space.
