This is a common question that clients often ask. This page is here to help answer it.
Many clients considering scanning options don't have the necessary situation to warrant the expense of imaging their documents. Document scanning is more expensive than document storage. So it doesn't make prudent fiscal sense to scan documents that you don't access often, or that you may, in fact, never access before they are purged.
In other cases, it makes perfect sense to image certain documents, such as when you pull a file that will need to be re-accessed many times by different employees at different locations. In this case you'd want the file pulled, scanned, and then hosted electronically where it can be accessed from any of your office locations across the country or, for that matter, anywhere in the world.
Then there are a whole bunch of "gray areas" where the "to scan or to store" question is not so obviously answered. Benson will help you work up a cost benefit analysis so you can make an intelligent and informed decision between document scanning and storage.
