Document storage for central government
With multiple types of government records, managing them really is quite the challenge. Government bodies must correctly maintain them while managing different retention periods and getting their internal, statutory, and regulatory reporting responsibilities right in such a highly regulated environment. Ageing infrastructures and inefficient processes probably don’t help either when you’re under pressure to do more for less. In a nutshell, that’s a lot to manage.
For government departments, scanning is a vital service. For example, scanning to specified standards with metadata creation, naming and indexing of images, or the provision of specialist scanning including microfiches and registrar services documentation. Add to this the provision of bespoke document management solutions in support of the required services, and finally scanning incoming mail and processing to enable accurate distribution across the Government Department.

But what’s more reassuring than knowing that when you store them in our secure, off-site government approved facilities – we’ll ensure the utmost safety of your records with the highest security measures. That said, when you compare our facilities to your current storage location, we’ll probably be delivering a few breaths of fresh air too.
