Offices don’t look like they used to a few decades ago. The most notable change is less paper and more computers. Computers have allowed many modern offices to be less dependent on paper, but the digital revolution has been accompanied by a compliance revolution, with far more regulation imposed on companies than ever was in the past. Keeping your company compliant these days requires ever-increasing diligence. Ensuring you remain compliant by not accidentally throwing away critical paperwork is a source of sleepless nights for many business owners.
As a result, even in the age of digital transformation, most companies are required to retain printed hardcopies of ledgers, training materials, business letters, business reports, transaction documents and many others. Hardcopy version of business documents going back several years are often required to keep a business compliant. As a result, many modern offices can quickly find documents occupying most of their valuable office space. Most premium-priced office space today is occupied in large part by rarely used or accessed, all be it precious documents.
If you have outgrown your office and its time to find a larger place, perhaps consider using a document storage service. Document storage is an inexpensive way to store documents and helps many offices become more compliant by providing faster, better access to their archived documents. Compu-Stor is a leading document management service provider with facilities in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
Why Use a Document Storage Service?
