This past year has seen more and more of us returning to the office more days out of the week… if not full-time. Now that businesses are having more meetings at the office again and having more staff working out of those offices, we may be quickly finding ourselves dealing with storage issues in need of a solution.
Not only do our offices need proper storage practices to maintain a clean and professional work environment, but it’s vitally important to security as well – which can easily be compromised more often as more and more people are coming in and out of the office. So how does one figure out how much storage space is needed for their business?
Holiday storage concerns aren't limited to your home. If your business or office puts up any sort of holiday decorations – whether it's for Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other seasonal event – a good office storage system is needed to organize and store them afterward.
We are all always looking for ways on how to improve workflow in order to make workplace operations move more smoothly. The most efficient workflows let people perform their jobs easily and quickly without sacrificing the quality of their work.
Storage unit organization for your business is a lot like office organization. There are a lot of tips, but ultimately you need to find what works for you!
Your business might need a storage unit for many reasons, but it can be easy to go overboard. To minimize your expense, you want to make sure you organize your self-storage unit.
It seems like data breaches are in the news all the time, mostly large-scale incidents like corporate data going public and individual identity theft. For both individuals and companies, it comes down to taking proper safeguards – especially with hard copies of information that could easily be "rescued" from the garbage.
Converting your documents to a digital format gives you the ability to both secure and work with the data. But what about the hard copies left over at the end of the process?
If you are like many and are new to working remotely, the days and weeks ahead can be pretty challenging. The COVID-19 pandemic is changing the lives of billions worldwide. In response, many businesses have closed their doors and instructed their employees to work from home to avoid the spread of the virus. While working from home certainly has its benefits, especially during these uncertain times, it also has its challenges.
Identity theft can have a devastating effect on someone's life and finances. According to the 2019 Identity Fraud Study by Javelin Strategy & Research, 2018 had 14.4 million victims of identity fraud. Out-of-pocket costs related to fraud from identity theft doubled from 2016 to 2018 to $17 billion.
Individuals aren't the only ones at risk for problems related to identity theft. Businesses who have been breached by hackers can also be liable for the theft. The best way to protect yourself and your clients is through good data practices.
Are you prepared to file your 2020 taxes? Even if you use an accountant to file, you’ll have to gather your paperwork yourself, be aware of filing deadlines, and prepare for whatever you’ll owe (or will hopefully get a refund for). As federal tax codes continue to change each year being prepared is the front line of defense against unwanted tax audits and late filing.
With the rise of data theft (and continually evolving ways to steal data), keeping your business secure in 2020 is a necessary investment in protecting your assets. Securing your business data also improves trust with your prospects and customers. With the new year rolling in, there’s no better time to evaluate your current data storage methods and implement needed improvements.
When it comes to secure media destruction in Long Island, New York, and the surrounding NYC metro area, it’s vital to understand what type of media needs to be destroyed, why it should be, and how to get it done securely. Many businesses and households opt to dispose of their documents and other sensitive media when they are no longer legally required to keep copies of their records.
Despite talk of a “paperless society” for decades, many offices still have far too much paper to manage, track, and store. Doctors and other professionals have patients/clients fill out forms and intake information. Lawyers have legal documents, contracts, and releases. Accountants have reams of sensitive paperwork. Add in legal and regulatory requirements and getting rid of paper isn't as easy as just trashing it. Streamlining the process of managing this paperwork would instantly make any office or business instantly more efficient. The document management specialists at Storage Quarters have the solutions to make your business more efficient.
