Archive Storage

Archive storage or the storage of old files and documents in office premises in archive boxes, drawers and filing cabinets can be an expensive hidden cost to business. The costs involved are measurable in terms of wasted storage space, human resource in searching and retrieving files and the opportunity cost of failing to use the space for more profitable applications. Some files, deeds and documents need to be kept for legal or statutory reasons and yet the contents are rarely looked at.  Very often, archives are poorly boxed and kept in lofts, garages, ‘stationery’ cupboards and in self store lock ups - but more often they are kept in storage boxes in prime office space.

Live Filing

Live files are files or documents that are seldom used but not classified as archived. This type of storage is used by firms who have large client bases and limited space e.g. financial sector, solicitors and accountants. Files are stored in a risk assessed live file archive store by file not by box and are recalled by file reference. This live file archive service frees both human resources and fixed assets for more profitable employment.

Secure shredding and safe disposal of archived files and documents by Business Records Management

Business Records Management appreciates the importance of the correct confidential destruction of documents and files at the end of their storage life. Recent horror stories in the media have drawn attention to the need for carefully managed secure destruction and disposal - no commercial entity or public body wants the ignominy of confidential records and documents being found by the public. Yet it is tempting for contractors to take bulk confidential waste and process it either as land fill or as exported waste paper. Shredding is the most effective secure destruction method and the process should be carried out to BS8470 as outlined in this section.

Magnetic Media Storage at Business Records Management

Business Records Management provides a magnetic media storage service for companies and firms that maintain physical back-ups as part of best administrative practice and for disaster recovery programmes.

The media may be in the form of DAT tapes, CDs, Floppy Discs, sticks, hard drives and any other type of media storage.

Project Management by Business Records Management

BRM's management of a project inevitably frees customer resources for more appropriate tasks yet allows the customer full control over the process. BRM will take over and manage from the customer's initial concept, through requirements analysis, risk assessment, clearances, to delivery of agreed service. It encompasses time-scales, resources, budgets and quality considerations and is focussed on a constant reporting to all stakeholders during the project.

Archive and document storage - The right technology to minimise error

Business Records Management has invested heavily in the field of information technology that keeps many of the UK's manufacturers and retailers at their most efficient. The issues faced by what may seem to be very different sectors are really very similar. BRM's task is to identify a file or document and draw it from the archive store for delivery to the desk of the user in the shortest possible time. When the user has finished with the file, BRM must collect it a return it to the store and hold it until it is required again. The file may be a series of boxes or a single folder or even a DAT tape. This is one file in multiple millions.
