Archive America, one of the leading Offsite Storage and Records Management and Information Management companies in the United States, has long been at the forefront of advances in the RIM industry. From the humble beginnings many years ago the business has grown to a pan American operation offering a suite of records management services to it’s clients that are almost unparalleled in the industry. But where does it all start?

Offsite Storage is the core reason that Records management companies exist. When the Records and information management industry started more than 30 years ago now, the principal was very simple, take information, in this case, boxes from clients who were paying high rents in downtown areas, take this information, storage it in low rental areas in warehouses and then charge for storage, hence the term “offsite storage”. Many clients saw the value in this service and still do today, the simple math makes it a no brainer in many cases, in large cities, rents and real estate prices have sky rocketed, so it makes sense to free up office space taken up by paperwork and send it offsite to a lower rental storage area. In some cases people even do Document Storage themselves, but even the cost of this becomes prohibitive when you take into account the time it takes.

Professional Records and Information management companies have mushroomed in to far more than the off-site storage locations they were when the industry began. Offsite storage is still a popular term today, with clients still using the same equations as before as a good reason to get information offsite, however there are even more reasons now than ever. Document management and document storage organizations such as Archive America now offer a suite of services that add incredible value to the idea that moving data off site is a cost effective measure.
