MicroImage, Inc. Paper vs. Digital Documents

Storage space
Paper files require storage space, and lots of it. A four-drawer file cabinet (about 10,000 pages) fits on a single CD. Further, a DVD can hold approximately 70,000 pages which is equivalent to 7 CDs OR 7 four-drawer file cabinets. MicroImage can even digitize your documents onto the new DVD+DL medium. A DVD+DL can hold approximately 15 CDs worth of documents. In simplistic terms, a storage room containing 15 four-drawer cabinets can now be contained on a single DVD+DL.

File retrieval
Retrieving a paper file requires footsteps and thumbing through files you don't need. Digital files are literally at you fingertips, with searches conducted and files retrieved all at your computer.

File sharing
Paper files are stored in one place. The possibilities are almost unlimited with digital files. They can be stored on a CD or loaded on a personal computer. They can be e-mailed. Digital files can be shared with users in your office complex on a Local Area Network, or around the world on a Wide Area Network.

File life
Paper deteriorates with age. We back-up all of your digital files so they last indefinitely and never age.

Lost files
This happens with paper files. Digital files can never be misfiled or lost with a properly designed index.

Disaster recovery
Recently www.ClickonDetroit.com (6/21/05) reported a five alarm fire raging in a downtown Detroit community known as the New Center Area. According to this article, the five alarm fire was adjacent to a building that "contains millions of medical records that are stored in the building for Henry Ford Health Systems." Thankfully, according to www.ClickOnDetroit, "no health records were damaged in the fire."
