Have you prepared your business for disaster? Or perhaps more to the point, have you prepared your documents for disaster? Your business isn’t made up of bricks, furnishings, and product inventories—all of which are likely insured and replaceable. Businesses run on their collective knowledge and the pooled talent of their leadership and staff.
Protecting Your Assets
Protecting your business from disaster has more to do with backing up foundational documents than protecting physical assets. Again and again, we’ve witnessed devastation through fire, hurricane, and epic nor’easters. The organizations who go on to conduct business another day are those that have their collective knowledge—their core business documents—backed up in the cloud or an offsite digital storage facility. The rest are left wondering how to reconstruct years of hard work and how to serve their customers without so much as a way to contact them.
Peace of Mind
Discussing the consequences of unpreparedness isn’t a comfortable way to pass the time, but the peace of mind that comes with dealing with the issue is invaluable. Here’s how a document management solution from Xerox can help your company prepare for disaster, once and for all.
- Anytime/anywhere access —The beauty of a document management solution is that your documents aren’t comprised of hard copies stored in steel filing cabinets and bankers’ boxes. Your documents are digital versions that can be accessed from any computer or mobile device anytime and from any location.
- Business continuity —A document management system stores the information that allows your company to pick up where you left off, reaching out to and serving your customers as soon as possible following a disaster.
- Asset protection —There’s only one sure way to protect your virtual assets, and that’s through electronic document management.
