Self-Storage Not Working
Transferring archives to self-storage may alleviate a shortage of office space but it brings its own difficulties and inefficiencies.
There are a number of factors acting against self-storage being a workable long-term solution for the storage and management of archives:
- Archiving and file retrieval are generally the most disliked office functions
- Files expand to fill the available space
- The natural way of things with archives is chaos
It is difficult enough for staff to deal with these factors and manage files in your office – even more so in a remote facility.
