As offices grow, they find that their inactive documents take up more and more space. Some offices try storing their inactive document files in off-site self-storage. This is sometimes called *self document storage*. However, a more cost effective solution is to use a professional document storage company.

In-house or off-site self document storage has several challenges:

1) Finding space, either by crowding existing space or by leasing extra space.
2) Purchasing and setting up proper shelving that a) meets safety standards for anyone working around them, b) is designed specifically for the storage of document boxes, and c) will not interfere with security and fire systems.
3) Purchasing strong, document-specific, manageable boxes to hold the records and documents.
4) Protecting them from theft (this is also a privacy issue).
5) Meeting fire codes for your building (storing large amounts of paper in one area) and protecting them from fire, and therefore also from water damage if there is ever a fire.
6) Protecting them from flood or from dampness, mildew, etc.
7) Protecting them from insect and rodents.
8) Protecting them from extreme temperatures that have a degrading effect on paper and other substances.
9) Managing them so that a document can be found when required.

The easiest, and often most cost-effective way that this can be done is to contract with a document storage vendor that replaces self document storage with professional document storage. Occasionally off-site self-storage units are tried first, but your nearby document storage company can do this service more cost friendly than self-storage units. And, it solves the problems outlined in the previous paragraph. It provides this important service for all sizes of offices, for government offices, for charities, and for professionals like physicians, dentists, lawyers, and accountants (including after they retire).
