If your company produces large volumes of papers which you do not currently scan, you may be loosing money even without knowing it. Some of the expenses are rather easy to spot and they may include cost of storage or added rent price, if you occupy part of your office with hundreds of boxes of paper documents. Some are harder to spot and we will look at them in more detail in this article.
Before I continue I would like to alert you to special by CZ Imaging Group "Scan 5 files/folders for free". They will scan up to 5 documents for you free of charge and put them on their system so you can explore all the benefits of having an electronic library
Hidden costs of not scanningYou store documents because you have to. Your business may run without access to the documents, but more likely than not, you will find that frequent lookups of folders in storage are necessary. If you use off-site storage, you must look at cost of transportation and time lost during travel as well as overall cost associated with searching for a correct document. You always use up a lot of time because of searches. Either your storage is ad-hoc and you need to spend time locating appropriate document, or you must spend time making sure that you keep your storage organized.

If you have an electronic storage, when customer calls to request copy of a file or certain pages from it, you will be able to serve them right over the phone. This will increase your customer's satisfaction and will save you from having to call customer back once the originals arrive.
Real savingsAs I was informed by the knowledgeable staff at CZ Imaging Group, when you add up all the time necessary to maintain and search documents, going with document scanning by a contracted company may be cheaper. Sometime the savings are so great that they are absolutely undeniable. In some cases the scanning and system maintenance fees are actually cheaper than the rent that you may be paying for the storage.
What to ask when shoppingA lot of document scanning companies like to charge per page. If your business works on per case or per folder basis, ask for flat rate scanning fee. Demand access to your documents in industry standard PDF format. Make sure that all your staff can access the documents at the same time - some companies allow only one person at a time. Ask for complimentary shredding service. Demand that your data is securely backed up in more than one location - such as out of state. Make sure the backup is done daily. Shop around, prices and service quality from smaller local companies that care about your business will be more paletable than those of big wallstreet giants. Look for local and out of state scanning - sending banker box of documents from california via FedEx ground to Florida for scanning may give you better overall price. Start by filing in contact form of the above mentioned CZ Imaging Group scanning companies of Florida.
