The History of GRM

GRM was founded in New York City in 1987 to provide a better, hands-on alternative for records storage than what was being offered by larger, more established vendors. Early on, this positioning resonated throughout the business community. In search of more attentive service and a commitment to cutting edge technology, prominent law and accounting firms, financial institutions, entertainment and insurance companies as well as non-profit organizations soon flocked to GRM.

The company’s reputation solidified in the 1990’s. The client roster grew steadily, placing a demand on more storage space, additional locations, and an extension of the product line. By the end of the decade, GRM was operating three records centers in the New York Metropolitan Area totaling nearly 1.5 million square feet. As the 21st Century came into view, GRM embarked on a national expansion program. Sparked by client demand, the company established records centers in Los Angeles and Miami. Soon after, operations began in Washington, D.C. In 2001, the roll out continued with the opening of the Chicago facility, followed a year later by Atlanta and Philadelphia. And in early 2003, GRM staked a presence in Northern California with the opening of the Alameda and Fremont centers.

Commensurate with its physical growth was the lengthening of the company’s product line. GRM now offers a complete menu of integrated information management services including records storage, imaging, certified shredding services, data and video and film storage, electronic vaulting and technology escrow. Plus, GRM clients choose from a variety of customized, corrugated storage containers and durable, customized transfer cases to protect and preserve their important documents and business data.

Today, GRM employees coast-to-coast are dedicated to maintaining the standards established at our inception – providing world-class service and the best value for the information storage dollar.

What People Are Saying About GRM

One of the most important things to us at GRM is customer satisfaction. Every day we receive emails from customers filled with feedback and kudos about how we handle our day to day business. I've decided that today is a good day to start a new feature at the GRM Document Storage Blog, featuring some of the good things our customers have to say about GRM. Today's comment comes from a manager of a Video Services Entertainment company whom we handle media storage for.

“Just a quick note to tell you how much we appreciate the service GRM provides. When we toured your facility, we were amazed at how clean and orderly the vaults were. But the real proof of how a company performs is the service, and GRM held up to the test. The service, the deliveries, and most importantly the people have been professional, knowledgeable and courteous. It’s nice to know that there is a group of people who care about the client’s product as much as the client does. I’m glad we made the wise judgment to use your services, and the verdict is in, you are the best!”

FACTA

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) is a federal law passed in 2003 which is a top priority for document managment centers. It applies to all American businesses that collect customer's personal information and is designed to protect consumers from the ever-increasing threat of identity theft. Furthermore, the law provides protection from "unauthorized access or use" of their private and potentially sensitive information.

In addition to the portiono of FACTA that protects the privacy of your private information, it also requires businesses that need/choose to dispose of data must appropriately destroy it by shredding, burning or pulverizing.

Hard Drive Destruction

Incorrect disposal of computer hard drives and other sources of digital information is one of the most common sources of identity theft and crucial information leaks in America. Dumpsters and landfills today are filled to the brim with computers that no longer work, but are still packed with sensitive and particularly harmful information.

One of the valuable services that GRM and other document management centers across the country offer is efficient and complete destruction/wiping of digital information and hard drives. Our hard drive destruction service will leave your computer's memory wiped completely clean and 100 % safe from infiltration and digital theft. If your business isn't located near GRM but you're searching for a document management service, be certain to ask potential companies if they offer a comprehensive hard drive destruction service.
