GRM's Many Storage Containers

Today is a bit slow on document management related news, so I thought I'd point you in the direction of one of the more matter-of-fact sections of our website. We've discussed the multi-faceted world that now makes up the document management industry, but the entire business is built on the simple idea of providing businesses a safe and reliable place to store their paper documents and files. And where files are stored, they need to be stored inside of something. At GRM, we utilize a host of different cardboard boxes, plastic containers, and tubes to guarantee that all of your "old fashioned" paper documents stay 100% safe, 100% of the time. You can have a look at the Storage Containers page on our website to see the many selections we have to offer.

Using GRM for Certified Document Destruction

Lock It, Seal It, Secure It

New legislation and regulations are placing increasing demands on the swift and thorough shredding of critical information. Disposing of sensitive documents in traditional waste receptacles or open recycling baskets can put your company at risk. One single piece of information in the wrong hands can cost your company millions. At GRM, we offer secure and certified document shredding and destruction services like carton shredding and bin rotation programs, the most effective and confidential methods for destroying important information.


Carton Shredding

GRM offers you the flexibility of shredding documents currently housed in your office or at an off-site storage facility. Either way, all you have to do is identify cartons designated for destruction with GRM’s unique “GRM Shred Me” label. GRM will then dispatch its fleet and personnel to retrieve the cartons. Document shredding will be performed within 24-48 hours of retrieval, and a Certificate of Destruction is issued upon completion.


Bin Rotation

Why use open wastebaskets or recycling bins when GRM can provide security containers for the safeguarding of critical information? You have two styles from which to choose: a 200-pound capacity, heavy gauge plastic mobile toter or a 100-pound capacity, stationary executive console. Both are locked and tracked by advanced bar code technology. Customized rotation schedules are available and all rotations are performed by GRM personnel and vehicles. Document shredding or destruction is performed within 24-48 hours of retrieval, and a Certificate of Destruction is issued upon completion.

Disaster Recovery

In a post last week, I broke down why it's so important for every business to have a disaster recovery plan in place. That being said, recent events here in the US have once again called to attention how crucial the matter is. Hurricane Gustav blew through Southern Louisiana on Labor Day, and thankfully the damage wasn't as extensive as that of Hurricane Katrina.

Even still, as citizens and business owners of New Orleans and other cities and villages in the state return home and to work - a large majority will remain without power for at least the next few days. Some businesses are structured to handle being closed for a week at a time . . . but the vast majority of them are not. A disaster recovery plan from someone like GRM is the perfect solution to a problem like this. Any business covered that utilizes a system like eVault would have access to all their crucial documents from a remote location. A hurricane is certainly a rare occasion, but a power outage on a small scale can occur at any place or time. Is your business ready?

GRM to Attend ARMA Convention

Hope all the readers of the GRM Document Storage Blog had a great Labor Day weekend. GRM was fully functioning yesterday, though not blogging. One of the many positive aspects of employing GRM to handle your businesses document management program is that we're available to you even on days when no one else is expected to be in the office.

To ease everyone back into the 9-5 flow, I decided to keep things simple today. I just wanted to provide clients and all others who may be interested that GRM will be attending the National ARMA Convention in Las Vegas next month. The convention takes place from October 20th through the 23rd, and we hope to provide helpful information and answering any questions that attendees may have about the many services we provide. We'll be manning booth number 536 - if you're in the Las Vegas area, be sure to drop by.
