There are many good reasons to choose off-site storage: for disaster recovery purposes, to free up office space in order to expand your business or staff, HIPAA compliance issues, organization - the list goes on and on. Whatever your reason(s), your storage center and service should be carefully researched to ensure that your company is getting the most benefit for the money. Below are a few things to consider when looking for off-site data storage in a records center. After seeing some of the key factors involved in seeking a competent records center, read our "What to expect from MIDCON!" section below to see just how far above and beyond MIDCON's commitment to excellence extends.   What to look for in a Records Center? Facility --- Facility is a top priority. Look for security in place, physical structure to withstand disasters of all kinds, environmental controls and consistency, occupational health and safety standards. MIDCON maintains more than 120,000 square feet of secure climate-controlled hard copy and vault storage. Our fire suppression system is zoned and pre-activated, all delivery vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking and we are a first response for BMS Catastrophe. Service --- Service is also important. If quality service that meets the needs of the company is not provided, what good is it, at any price? Consider the level of service received including special requests, turnaround time, courteous and timely responses, training, convenience, accuracy and ease of use. Your service should be "on call" after normal business hours. Service with MIDCON is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Regular customer user group meetings provide our customers the opportunity to have a voice in the services we offer and how we meet their needs. Price --- When evaluating an out source alternative to in-house storage, price would definitely be a determining factor. Consider the many costs involved in space, facility, security, environment and manpower resources needed for in-house storage; compare that to lower costs for out sourcing; and then add in the cost for quality service. Determine up front costs but beware the possibility of hidden costs. MIDCON reveal all the costs - up front!
