How Document Management Can Help Your Rockville, MD Organization
Get Rid of Mountains of Paper
When you stop relying on physical storage, you won't have cabinets or boxes taking up any space. As the price of office space increases, you don't want to take up valuable space when you don't need to. Paper storage can also feed the flames of a fire if one happens.
Mitigate Liability
In addition to reducing the spread of a fire, document management mitigates liability for somebody else's private information falling into the wrong hands.
Additionally, different industries operate under need to conform to different compliance standards. Paper storage can make compliance more difficult; a 2019 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory study reported that over half of healthcare providers may not be HIPPA compliant.

Faster Access to Information
According to data from a Nintex survey, 49% of employees think it is too hard to find documents, and 43% encounter difficulties in sharing documents. By having information in a digital format, your employees will be able to search for information on a keyboard and will be able to easily share it, even if a worker is working from home. Document management is vital if you are moving to a remote workforce.
Cut Down on Costs
PriceWaterhouseCoopers found that the cost of finding a single lost document averages out to $122, that most companies misplace 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 business 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 can avoid buying the containers where the paper is stored.

If a paper document is lost, you will have to get the information again. Furthermore, a catastrophe such as a tornado could destroy them. In a computerized system the files can be recreated easily. The information will also be unavailable to people you do not want to have access.
