Is Scan-on-Demand your answer to going paperless?
For years, going paperless meant companies had to scan all their files in-house, or pay a third party to do it for them. Scanning in-house is not only costly, but disruptive to day to day business and many times can be inefficient.
While studies show outsource scanning is considerably less expensive than doing it yourself, the problem remains that many companies have old records that need to be kept but may never need to be accessed again or only a small pecentage of them will ever need to be retrieved. These would not be the records that have been scanned into a document management system for processing such as electronic workflow, ocr, data capture or several other records management solutions. The records we are speaking of are stored in multiple file cabinets or may be already boxed up. Either way, they are taking up valuble and often expensive office space that could be utilized for other purposes in the office.
Scan-on Demand service is a cost effective solution to help companies cross the bridge into a paperless environment without the need for unnecessary scanning.
You may say...Why not just store these types of records with traditional offsite storage facilities. Typically when a file is needed, it gets pulled and delivered via courier, then returned and re-filed. This process usually takes a day or two. All these processes have charges affiliated with them.
Here's how Scan-on-Demand works...
-Files are securely stored at a reduced cost from traditional storage rates.
-As needed, clients request a file or files.
-Requested files are located in a matter of minutes, scanned on the spot, and electronically sent to the client within an hour.
