4) Can I get help indexing my files?

Indexing files is one of the most important steps in records storage to ensure accuracy and ease of file retrieval. The most efficient way to index your files is to think of how you would request a file once it’s stored. Whatever information you need to identify a file is the information you should use in indexing. If you’re new to information management and need help getting started with indexing, a member of our expert staff can sit down with you and help guide you through the process.

5) Why should I use CI Information Management to store my records, instead of a self-storage unit?

The benefits of using a dedicated records storage center are plenty. First, using a self-storage unit means you’re paying for unused space. At CI Information Management you’ll only pay for the space you actually use. Using CI Information Management helps prevent unauthorized access to your company information. Moreover, self-storage units are not built to store records safely. Security and fire protection ensure your records are safe.
