The Security Of Cloud Document Management

By Loris F. Anders


With the onset of new technology comes a great deal of learning for most individuals. For, even those whom have worked in IT for years may have never worked with cloud document management. While this is the case, those having worked with basic document management are most likely going to have a better understanding of this new technology than others. Although, most still need to at least complete an online tutorial in order to get the most out of this new remote storage feature.

Documentation stored in the cloud is often easily accessible for edits and printing. Whereas, when storing documentation in a file cabinet or at a remove physical location, access is often far more difficult. As such, a number of individuals and offices are now turning to this new technology.

Businesses which have requirements as to how long one must keep documents on file need inquire as to whether or not storage in the cloud meets this requirement. For, the requirements for one association such as the IRS may be different from others. As such, to assure these requirements are being met, it is important to verify whether or not this is the case.

Most recently, individuals and businesses have been using USB drives for additional storage of data. While this may be a good back-up device, it can often be timely to edit and work on documents on such a device, especially if more than one person needs to do so. As such, it could also be beneficial to have one stored in the cloud when quick access or shared work becomes necessary.

Using this technology, individuals and companies can save a lot of time and money. For, there is often no need to make a set of copies when one can print an original document upon request. In addition, as there are features which can allow individuals to share and work on documents, companies can save a great deal of money by eliminating group meetings in order to make changes.

Like with all documentation storage and management systems, security is often a concern. As such, it is still advised that companies and individuals keep back up copies in the cloud while keeping originals of any documents on a thumb drive, personal filing cabinet or storage house.

Ultimately, individuals and businesses must decide if this type storage is safe and secure for the type of information being stored. In most cases, the cloud is as safe as any other storage method. Although, with hackers and others always working to obtain personal information, as with any other storage system, there is always a risk when it comes to others obtaining access.
