1. Disaster preparedness
Threats to your organization’s resources come in all shapes and sizes. If a flood, fire, or other natural disaster affects your organization, the impact of such an event could be tremendous.
Think of all the files and sensitive information you store on paper for every employee in your company. What would happen if these vulnerable documents (and employee information) were compromised by a disaster?
Relying on paper as a record for important documentation leaves your organization vulnerable. That’s where ECM helps. With ECM, you strengthen your organization’s disaster recovery and business continuity processes by ensuring you store your important documents and data within a centralized, protected system.
By managing your information electronically, you can easily duplicate copies to off-site servers, ensuring that your data survives an event in any single location. Access to your solution is available via a secure website as soon as users can get back online. This frees your IT staff to focus on getting your on-premises systems up and running.
To simplify and protect things even further, you can choose a cloud document management system. This way, your data is not tied to your physical location. In the event you need to abandon your premises, you retain continuous, uninterrupted access to everything you need.
