Advantages of Document Management in Independence, MO
Get Rid of Stacks of Records
When you move to digital systems, most of your employees won't even need cabinets at their workstations. As the price of office space goes up, it's important to free up that space for something else. Paper storage can also be a fire hazard.
Diminish Liability
In addition to reducing a potential fire hazard, document management mitigates liability for somebody else's sensitive data being accessed by someone you don't want it to be accessed by.
What's more, different fields have different oversight. Paper storage can impede compliance; a 2019 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory study found that as many as 56% of healthcare providers are not currently HIPPA compliant. A database management system will verify compliance by creating automated organization. We have helped Independence, MO companies become more compliant with:
- FACTA
- SOX
- GLB
- ISO 9000
- The Privacy Act of 1974
- And more
Improved Access to Information
According to data from a Nintex survey, 49% of employees have difficulties locating documents, and 43% find that there are problems when trying to share documents. By using a digital documentation system, information can be accessed and shared with just a few clicks, even if an employee is not in the office. Document management is imperative if you are incorporating remote work.
Reduce Costs
PriceWaterhouseCoopers stated that the cost of locating just one lost paper document averages out to $122, that the majority of companies lose 7.5% of their documents, and 3% are filed in the wrong place. If your organization collects 10,000 documents annually, the potential financial burden for your organization could be as much as $128,100 a year.
Furthermore, the average cost of office space in the United States is between $8 and $23/SQFT, and up to 15% of that could be physical storage of documents. You also won't have to buy the containers where the paper is stored.
Improved Security
If the paper version of a document is misplaced, rediscover the information and recreate the document. Furthermore, a natural disaster like a earthquake might destroy them. With either on-premises or cloud storage the files can be retrieved easily. The information will also be unavailable to people you do not want to have access.
Boost Efficiency
Document challenges account for 21.3% of wasted time in companies. Stated differently, for a company in Independence, MO that employs a hundred people, moving to a digital system would see a production increase the same amount as hiring 21 new employees. With all of your documents in one place and in a digital format, no one will have to waste time looking through hundreds of individual files. Instead, you can simply go to your digital database and easily click through files until you find the document you're looking for.
HITS Document Management Process in Independence, MO
HITS utilizes our copyrighted DocuMiner® application in a three-stage process for executing document management for Independence, MO companies: Sort, scan, shred.
We'll go through your paper documents and catalog them in two ways: Scan, for the information you still need, and shred, for documents that are now unnecessary. As we evaluate the documents, we'll assemble a full manifest list. Once we have your approval we'll make sure all data you need is digitized and what's left is securely destroyed.
