Introduction
Incidence of disaster has
brought home to companies the loss that can happen in such cases. A recent report indicated that
companies which suffered a total loss due to fire or natural disaster, of
their documentation or digital data went out of business within 12
months. Document scanning and
archival enable you to have multiple copies of your documents and electronic
data on and off-site and these can be re-instated within minutes of any
disaster. Storage is essential in helping enterprises of all sizes
and types around the world house information needed to achieve their business
goals. Managing this storage
within a framework of legal requirements, usage and availability needs, and
operational-cost realities can be daunting. The challenge is the growth in storage
demand due to digital content, e-mail, internet-based applications and
emerging technology. Furthermore, it is essential for organizations to
implement a variety of business processes to increase productivity and
profitability. The manner with
which the internally generated records are handled is very important. One key to turning this growing management
challenge into a source of competitive advantage is the employment of an
end-t-end storage management strategy that leverages on comprehensive storage
management virtualization portfolio. If dealing with storage management strains your budget and
your storage management team, you’re not alone. Statistics shows that in developed
countries, “Storage consumes 13% of the IT budget and it expected to
have increased to 15-17% by 2006/07.
In addition, 40% of storage costs are due to personnel costs, which
are increasing by 4% each year” and it is expected to be higher in
developing countries. (a) Paper
Conversion CSCS
Digital Storage and Retrieval Center‘s document conversion service
includes: Paper preparation, scanning of paper documents, indexing the
document images, storing them in the database, and hosting them for secure
online retrieval. Our conversion projects are conducted either onsite
