Electronic Records Management Systems (ERM), also known as Electronic Document Management Systems (EDM) are commonplace practices in many businesses. Document Scanning Essex serves the purpose of moving paper-based operations into faster and, sometimes, fully automated systems and processes. This frees up space and time, increasing efficiencies and reducing costs.
The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of this printed data also exists in electronic format, so it doesn’t need to be kept. Certain documents, however, have to stay on file for a number of years due to regulatory or legal reasons. The types of documents and the retention time varies from industry to industry.
Once this paperwork is scanned to an electronic format, it no longer steals valuable office space. It can be accessed instantly by an authorised person and shared electronically, which leads to further efficiencies within the organisation.
