How prepared is your business?

If you work in a paper intensive business environment, you are more than likely very aware of the daily challenges that comes with managing paper, including the cost and difficulty of efficiently storing, searching, locating, retrieving, sharing, and managing it within a workflow.

But besides the everyday challenges of managing paper based information, there are other proven risks in maintaining paper-based records to consider seriously:

• When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf of Mexico, a major company lost all of its regulatory and environmental compliance paperwork in the high wind and rain. Once the rigs were repaired, operations were not able to begin for several weeks, resulting in more than $2 billion in lost revenue.
• High winds from Hurricane Ike shattered windows of the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston, sending volumes of paper documents- some marked confidential-onto the street below.
• Even offsite storage in a secure offsite can be risky--a fire at an Iron Mountain record center destroyed millions of paper document, affecting a couple hundred companies and costing untold millions.

If your operations depend on paper and manual processes, how prepared are you for an unexpected interruption of normal business operations? Are you sure of operational continuity in the event of a major disaster? Are you able to quickly and securely access critical company records?
