Self storage facilities vs managed document storage

Here at PDM we are experts in all aspects of document management. As one of Yorkshire’s leading document management companies, our work often brings us into contact with companies who have been using self-storage or a lock-up facility to store documents, including business critical documents.
Although any companies rely on self-storage facilities to free up storage space in their offices when having a reorganisation or employing a new member of staff, for example, it’s important to be aware of the pitfalls of using this type of storage on a long-term basis.
Your ‘local’ self-storage facility could be anything but as the majority are located in out of town locations. This means the expense and inconvenience of you or your staff having to travel to access the documents you need, which is especially disruptive when a document is required quickly and your team are likely to be working from home for at least some of the time.
More importantly, as a result of the GDPR regulations which came into force last year, organisations need to be able to access information quickly if a request is received for information. If your documents are stored off-site or inefficiently, it could be difficult to respond to requests in a timely manner and in line with legislation.
Efficient, successful document management is only achieved by being able to access the documents you need as and when you need them. In addition, you also need the reassurance that they are secure and safeguarded from theft or damage by the elements. With this in mind, managed document storage offers the best solution.
