I have done so much of this work.  I don't have formulas per se, but there are ways to both understand the status quo and to move toward a new goal that includes less physical storage.  Please feel free to contact me.  I just didn't want to spend a lot of time typing a response to the Listserv but I would be happy to spend time speaking with you.

Subject: Any formula for physical file space reduction?

Hello,



Preparing for an office move and I'm looking to the Records Management community to find out, is there a formula for how many file drawers an attorney should have. Has anyone gone through a large office move and reduced their physical footprint?  If so, by how much?  How much file draw space did you have and how much did you end up with?



My research has only turned up a 50-75% reduction in physical footprint when reduction is pursued in conjunction with a scan initiative and destruction policy.



Thank you!
