Why do we do it? Every business does. We generate mountains of paper then we store it for years and years. It fades, goes mouldy, and even attracts vermin. We pay rent to store it, either cluttering our own premises or in even more expensive third party repositories. Is it a kind of madness?

Unfortunately, there is no choice. Many documents we are obliged, by legislation, to store for years. How many of us know how many years for different kinds of documents? Why do we end up storing everything? The fact is it is the only practical solution and in any case, amongst the documents we may not be forced to store are those containing genuine commercial intelligence we need access to from time to time. Provided only we can remember where we put things, we can abate the fear of prosecution and preserve data extending our ability to service customers well.

But therein is the rub. Finding archived paper documents is never easy. There is the ever-present danger from the elements – fire, water and earth – that they just will not be there when we want them anyway. Spectacular news stories demonstrate this risk is present even with world-renowned depository providers. No disaster recovery for their customers!

So despite the risks we have no choice. Indeed in these post-Enron days the legislative pressures are increasing. No longer are we only answerable to our own government but foreign jurisdictions can call us to account (have you read about the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the US – prepare to be frightened). We have no choice – but there is a better way! Devigo can provide it for you.

Imagine a world where every document your business ever produced was available to you with a few keystrokes. Always pristine, never faded. With complex documents you can even get a summary generated, so you can digest the salient points quickly. Imagine further, finding keywords and phrases wherever they occur in your newly converted resource rich information bank. You can even track the sentiment of incoming documents. It seems like a dream but it isn’t as Devigo have devised a service to securely deliver this vision to your business.

The one-off cost to get your legacy documents digitised is probably more than you want to pay. Then you need to keep up the good work in the ‘here and now’ and in the future. It’s a culture change that will not easily fit into your current staffing arrangements. Devigo have dedicated professionals to do this work. Security is the keyword in this process and Devigo can come to you (and scan documents at your premises) or you can come to Devigo (and we will handle your documents in our secure workstations). No disruption to your business either way. But let us get back to the cost issue. Devigo will translate your legacy, current and future digitisation costs into a manageable monthly charge.

Cost is also not trivial when it comes to the software that delivers the vision described above. Many businesses cannot afford to implement it in stand-alone mode. Many more do not have the resource to stay ahead of the technology as richer features emerge. By serving many, Devigo accesses for you an affordable route to the best of breed. Why settle for less?

Devigo is unique. Let us bring your documents into the digital world. You will pay as you go and enjoy first class technology now and always, managed to perfection. A change you need to make today, in this ever changing world.
