Preview joins Records Management Society
Preview are pleased to announce that they have now joined the Records Management Society.
The Records Management Society is the foremost professional association for all those who work in or are concerned with records or information management.
At Preview, this is what we do on a daily basis. Document scanning is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end which gives organisations the peace of mind that they have secure and immediate access to all of their important company information.
The society’s stated mission is to provide leadership in records and information management with the twin aims of:
- Improving the status of records management and records managers through representation, external liaison and promotion;
- Supporting professional development through sharing knowledge and expertise.
Bah Humbug!
Running any kind of a service business at Christmas in the UK is a real challenge!
The culture in this country has now come to expect a complete shut down in some sectors for at least to weeks followed by a trickle back to work from early January.
Staff also need holidays in early December for Christmas shopping and clients do the same.
Costs are at least the same and arguably higher during the period and the volume of work to complete is also the same.
Yet we have to try and achieve this all in a limited two week period and then ramp up fast afterwards when the appetite from all concerned is not, shall we say, at its greatest!
The document scanning business provides unique challenges in this area as some of our clients require regular and timely output of digital images regardless. Those working in customer services, finance, medicine, media and many other sectors cannot operate without our continuing high standards of service. Our supplier partners too - some of whom are offshore and may not celebrate Christmas beyond the two day festival that it used to be here - rely on a continuous stream of activity to keep their operations functioning.
So a big thank you to all our team who worked diligently throughout the Christmas and New Year period to keep the wheels turning and maintain the standards that our clients expect.
