Greetings.  While I've subscribed to this list for a while and learned
a'plenty, I've yet to post, and a customer's question now compels me.  

 

A medical products company currently spends significantly to store paper
documents offsite that have been scanned and stored in a records repository.
Their question:  must any of these paper documents be kept or can they be
destroyed upon scan?  These documents are available digitally and able to be
reproduced in paper form from their originating electronic systems.

 

This customer would like to understand other policies, strategies, and
vagaries, across industry types.

 

I very much appreciate your responses, and wish y'all in the U.S. a
wonderful long weekend.

 

- Michele
