Making the switch from a paper-based document system to a digital one can seem like an insurmountable task. But once you have Micro Records scan all of your documents for you, you may be wondering what you should do with those documents. Should you keep the paper copies “just in case,” store them off-site, or shred them for safety? Let’s take a look at your options now that you have gone digital with a document scanning service.
Shred Them
Once your documents have been scanned into a document management system, you will have some decisions to make. One popular option for your old documents is to shred them. Shredding your documents means they are no longer vulnerable and you are no longer at risk of leaking confidential information. Shredding documents following your scanning service is a common choice among business owners because it frees up physical space and money that would be spent storing them.
Store Them
When choosing to store your documents, you may have another decision to make. Where will you store them? You can choose to store your documents at Micro Records’ clean, climate controlled facility or you can choose to store them in-house. Both of these options will depend on how often these documents need to be physically accessed and how much space you have available in your office.
Store and Shred
For the people who cannot make up their minds, you can do both of these options. You can choose to shred things you won’t need any more like old invoices and things you won’t need physical copies of while still choosing to keep things like employee and member records. This will allow you to keep some information safe while getting rid of the clutter.
It is important to choose whichever service will make you feel more comfortable. For more information on shredding or storing your documents once they have been scanned, call Micro Records today!
