New Brunswick Document Scanning

Outline Your Scanning Procedures

To make the switch to a paperless office, you will first want to draft a document management policy. Figure out how long you need to retain each type of document, and determine which employees need access to them. Distribute your plan throughout your office. 

Second, you’ll want to clean out every record your no longer want. Have anyone who uses official records eliminate documents that they no longer use. It can also be helpful to distribute shredding bins around your office. Have workers organize their personal records according to the official document management policy and destroy any documents that no longer need to be kept. There is no reason to scan documents that are no longer useful.

Step three is to determine what documents you will need going forward. The economic benefits of document scanning become very apparent the more a document is used and shared. If it is unlikely to be referenced going forward, then keeping the original hard copy of the document is the best option. Everything that remains is what you need to scan.

Finally it is time for the actual scanning. You have the option of purchasing equipment and giving the work to an employee or contractor. Or you can look to a professional New Brunswick scanning service. If you have a small amount of papers, using an employee should work. But as you increase the number of documents to scan, your capabilities will be dwarfed.
