Reducing Paper - Margaret's Story

“EDCO showed me how they could quickly turn my paper nightmare into convenient scanned images.

“We were drowning in paper and everyone was frustrated with our turn-around time for pulling documents. It looked like we were incompetent, but it was really just a space problem. A series of mergers and budget concerns had us stacking files in every corner and in an outside storage unit.

“I finally called EDCO and said 'HELP ME!' A representative came right away and worked up a proposal. They showed us how to cut costs by reducing storage and part-time employees. Even then, the project was larger than our budget, so we used their Budget Maintenance Program™. It let us distribute the project across fiscal years.

“EDCO's 4-person purge team worked all night for 6 days. They pulled and packed the records, then transported the boxes in their truck. The boxes not yet scheduled for conversion are in EDCO’s SecureStore™ underground facility. I had an immediate sense of relief with their security guarantee that our confidential records would be safe from purge through document destruction. And, while they have the records, we simply log onto their Retrieval Net® website and made a chart request. They pull the ones we need and quickly send them to us.

“As our records are converted, EDCO returns them in DocuDisk™ digital format. The speed of handling documents on a computer with our Express Image™ search-view-distribute software amazes everyone who had to deal with the paper storage.

“EDCO's large project conversion helped us clear shelves, reduce paper, cut part-time employees, eliminate outside storage, and coordinate multiple locations from a merger.”
