Physical archiving: a performance driver for companies
There’s more to archive management than simply storing documents. Poorly organized archiving can slow down access to information, take up valuable space and generate unnecessary costs. A dynamic approach, on the other hand, optimizes space, improves document traceability and ensures preservation in compliance with regulatory requirements.
Adopting dynamic archiving means turning a constraint into an advantage. But what does this approach really involve, and how can it improve your document management?
The limits of static archiving
Every year, companies accumulate a large volume of physical documents. Without rigorous management, several problems emerge:
- Time wasted: searching for a document in a poorly classified archive can take several hours.
- Storage costs: keeping non-essential documents takes up valuable space.
- Risk of non-compliance: legislation imposes precise retention periods that must be respected.
Static archiving, which simply consists of storing documents without any management strategy, does not meet these challenges. It is often a source of inefficiency and cost overruns.
Dynamic archiving: a more efficient and secure solution
Unlike traditional archiving, dynamic archiving is based on a structured document life cycle. This approach makes it possible to optimize their management according to their usefulness and shelf life.
Key principles of dynamic archiving
✔ Identification and classification as soon asdocuments enter the archiving cycle.
✔ Storage optimized for document usage :
- Frequently consulted documents → quickly accessible storage.
- Semi-active documents → intermediate archiving with secure access.
- Inactive documents → long-term storage in a dedicated site.
✔ S ecure and traceable access toguarantee supervised consultation.
✔ Regulated destruction at the end of the cycle, in accordance with legal time limits.
Why adopt this approach?
Dynamic archiving streamlines document management by adapting storage to actual business needs. It optimizes space, reduces search times and ensures regulatory compliance.
