A document management policy will outline various services that can be provided to help maximise the potential of a business. Scanning services can clear out a lot of your hard data, or as much as you want scanned. You can have data scanned in a variety of sizes and it will scan in full colour also. You should expect a very quick process when you are having documentation scanned into electrical form because the outsourced company will appreciate the need to have certain data and information returned to help with day to day tasks. Whether you have large amounts of physical data or not you will be able to have as much scanned as you need and will be given a specific time frame in which it will be completed and returned to you in a variety of different formats should you choose so that it is readable in different applications.
After you have utilised the scanning service you may deem a lot of the documentation as useless and in that case the service provider will most probably offer to shred the data so that it can't be reproduced and it kept confidential. You may choose to keep the data stored elsewhere just for safeties sake. It is always worthwhile to have the information just scanned backed up should it ever become corrupt later on down the line. Disaster recovery solutions can help if your data is lost by any means whether it is a power failure that loses unsaved data or even a natural occurrence that could destroy everything in its path. Expecting the unexpected should be something you need to address with a document management policy.
