Digital file storage has been a game-changer for many small and medium-sized businesses that heavily rely on file retention. Instead of storing paper records in a huge room dedicated to file storage, businesses are focusing on digitizing their records and storing them electronically in storage systems designed for use in the cloud.
However, efficiency is far from the only benefit that comes from using electronic record storage. Without the crippling costs associated with printing paper copies of your records, you’ll be shocked to find out how much money your business can save simply by cutting down on how many documents you print out yearly. An infographic by data management company Solix exposes the raw numbers that show just how much an enterprise can save by moving away from paper archiving, and establishing a cloud archiving solution.

It’s also worth mentioning that the infographic assumes a company size of around 500 employees. Here are some of our favorite highlights from the study:
Well, there you have it. It’s almost unbelievable just how much paper gets printed and used by large companies.

Rather, you should think of it in terms of a chance to cut down on costs that are unnecessary and counterproductive to your budget.
