Cloud-based Document Management System (DMS) as part of your business continuity strategy
As part of your disaster recovery plan, it is essential to protect your business documents to ensure business continuity no matter what happens.
By scanning business documents and storing it in a cloud-based document management system, businesses no longer have to rely on their physical documents alone. Important data such as invoices, payables, receivables, client, and employee files can be easily retrieved anywhere you are, as there is easier web access across the authorized employees. It is safer, faster, cheaper, and smarter as it offers off-site business continuity and disaster recovery, which you cannot get from on-premise storage. The business is future-proof and could keep running again.
Success in business can be attributed to the proactive decisions of the people running it. To ensure resilience despite these natural and man-made occurrences, document scanning and storage of files to a Document Management System must be part of the business continuity plan of every business, no matter how big or small it is. The business continuity processes have to be carefully put together and must be tested to determine if it will work when the real thing takes place.
Archive One is a document management system (DMS) designed to help companies easily classify, store, secure, and retrieve essential company documents that are needed for retention and audits. With our partners' help, we provide an end-to-end document management solution from scanning to document storage at a highly competitive price.
