3) What is "Data Warehousing"?
Answer: For many small businesses, the investment and maintenance of a proper computer network exceeds their budget, so they get by with something 'less than adequate' or over-extend themselves. Along with our own internal network comes the need for maintenance of software and hardware, which includes upgrades and repairs. With data warehousing, our system becomes your system. As long as you have an internet connection, you have access via password to a fully secure, encrypted,and backed up system, which is fully maintained and upgraded daily. You can concentrate on running your business and we will keep your network and data available for you.
4) I have a lot of records that I have to keep for an extended period, but I rarely need to get into them. Are there any lower cost alternatives to converting them all to digital?
Answer: Yes! We have found our 'Scan on Demand' service to be highly effective for most businesses in this situation. We store your records at 30 cents per box per month for however long you need them retained. If you need a record, we simply scan them into an established electronic account, which can be accessed via the internet. You can then print, email, or whatever you like with the record. In most cases, we can have the requested record online and available within an hour of the request. This means you only pay for the scanning of the records you need and not all of the records you have.
5) Do you offer different solutions depending on the size of the customer?
Answer: Yes. Our staff will take the time to assess your business, your business practices, and what your goals are, in order to tailor the correct solution for you. We can work with budgets, spreading payments out, or set up leasing plans to fit your needs. Our goal is to supply the best option for your business, to insure your satisfaction for a long term partnership.
