Interaction with your clients often involves the completion
and signature of multiple paper documents. The very nature
of your profession is document driven. By developing and
implementing a proper records storage and management system
for your organization, TAB will help you realize efficiencies
in space utilization and retrieval time. Files will be
easily shared and information will always be available
regardless of how or where it is stored.
" Working with TAB has
definitely improved the situation. Basically we had
outgrown our existing set-up, and at different times
we’ve needed to have something in place that would
allow us to function at the level our business demanded.
The ability to look at your computer and know where
every file is, for instance, is a big plus. Things
move quickly around here, a lot of times lawyers
come in and pull their own files, and we need to
stay on top of that. As our business has changed,
the solutions TAB brought us have definitely made
everything easier. We’re more efficient."

Ensuring that only the most essential records are maintained
and housed is fundamental to a cost-effective records program.
Elimination of non-record and non-essential materials and
documents designated for off-site storage can reduce storage
costs, and improve retrieval time and access to the information
when critical. TAB can help you develop a records retention
strategy, based on your specific requirements, that will
ensure you are keeping only those records that are essential
to retain. We can also help you select and implement the
best filing system and storage method for your organization.
"We used TAB's services to
convert our files from top tab labels to a side tab system.
The side tab solution recommended and implemented by
TAB makes it significantly faster and easier for us to
retrieve files. In addition, we're able to store folders
more compactly allowing us to use less storage space."
