Inventory and Purge Help

THE PROBLEM

Boxes of old records are piling up. Data is costly. Nobody knows what can be purged. The inventory and purge would take months of staff time.

No retention schedules.
Records are printed and filed.
Digital records aren't purged, only the paper.
Source documents are retained after being scanned.
Records are filed by case number instead of using a container method.
The department believes records should be kept forever, increasing liability.
Case dispositions are not updated based on findings of the court or prosecutor.

DON’T SCAN!

Don’t embark on an expensive document imaging project just yet. Likely, most of those records could be purged.

We’ll save you a LOT of time and money on costly scanning services and instead, convert you to digitally-driven records management.

HOW WE HELP…

Not only can we inventory and purge the records in lightning speed, we can re-engineer your record indexing and retention procedures so the backlog never happens again, and build the digital transformation to go paperless moving forward.

New retention schedules, new ways of doing business, and lot’s of work off your plate. Relief is here.

Data convergence and digital evidence architecture begins with fixing retention first.

THE PROBLEM

Data is everywhere and more technology isn’t always the answer. The hype around digital evidence management may be driving you to spend unnecessarily.

Video is burned to DVDs and they can't be searched.
Digital evidence and records are in disparate systems.
Inter-agency workflows are paper-driven.
Cloud storage and vendor maintenance is too costly.
Retention is paper-focused. Data is neglected and never purged.

HOW WE HELP

Let’s first get a handle on retention, eliminating costs for unnecessary records and data.

Then accelerate success through a cost-benefit analysis, enterprise needs assessment, and informed leveraging of the right technology.

Data migration and convergence design, plan, build.
Needs assessments & business process reengineering.
Records/evidence retention scheduling, policy, training.
Media migration, cloud advisory, systems integration.
