Acceptance, arrangement and physical storage of paper archives, destruction of expired documents

Though talking about paperless office and digital processes, many paper documents are generated in everyday life – invoices, contracts, customer files, etc.. According to each company’s internal policy and in compliance with the regulatory requirements, the original documents must be kept for a long period of time – 5, 10 or even 50 years. An archive is a major information asset and every business should treat it with due diligence.
