☑Unlock Legacy Records with Cirrus File Server (CFS)
Transitioning from physical records to digital content is essential for organizations aiming to modernize their information management. Cirrus File Server (CFS) offers comprehensive content services that enable subscribers to outsource the conversion of legacy records, including paper documents, large format blueprints, books, photographs, microfilm, and microfiche. These materials are digitized and seamlessly delivered into CFS, where they can be organized, classified, shared, and securely stored. With the power of AI-driven analysis and automation, CFS ensures that newly digitized records are transformed into easily accessible, structured content that supports modern workflows and compliance requirements.
Challenges with Managing Legacy Records
Organizations relying on physical records face numerous challenges that hinder productivity and accessibility:
- Limited Access to Information: Paper-based records are confined to physical locations, making it difficult for distributed teams to access needed documents quickly.
- Increased Risk of Damage or Loss: Paper, microfilm, and microfiche can degrade over time or be damaged by environmental factors, leading to potential data loss.
- Manual Classification and Organization: Physical records require manual filing and retrieval, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
- High Storage and Maintenance Costs: Storing and maintaining physical records, especially large formats and archives, can incur significant expenses.
- Difficulty Integrating Legacy Records with Modern Systems: Paper records are not inherently compatible with digital workflows, making integration with current content management systems a challenge.
