About Us
The volume of corporate data and information has exploded over the last number of years driven by an increase in electronic documents, compliance regulations and corporate governance. Compliance legislation such as SEC17a-4, Sarbanes Oxley and the European Data Directive require certain documents to be retained in their original format for a specified period of time and that they must be produced quickly and accurately on demand. These documents include emails, financial reports, supplier invoices and medical records.
