What Should You Check When Choosing an Archiving Company?
Some of the people who consider the issue follow the simple principle: Tell me who your clients are and I will tell you who you are. When an archiving company is at issue – this is incorrect. The reason is simple – sometimes an archiving company chooses not to reveal a detailed list of its clients for reasons of confidentiality and information security. This is why it is worth checking out other issues such as:
The location of the archive company’s building and its physical suitability for preserving paper. Is it situated in a location that is humid, hot or illuminated? If so, the prevailing conditions are unsuitable.
Is the structure located near industrial areas and factories that are fire hazards because they store fuel and inflammable materials? If so, it may mean that the structure is not safe enough to store your documents.

When Do You Require Off-Site Document Storage?
If you "produce" paper in the course of your work and accumulate from 20 files and up in two years, you are, in fact, utilizing the space of a cabinet. Consider the use you could make of the area that covers part of the wall or the floor. Could you make use of the space taken up by dust-gathering files to accommodate another person? Could you use the space for furniture and computer equipment? Try to calculate the cost of the space if you are paying rent and municipal rates and taxes and whether you can get a better return on your investment by making alternative use of wasted "dead" space. If you have better things to do with the space – then you certainly do need to use off-site archiving. It's time to contact us for advice.
