More and more people are increasingly becoming ever more eco-conscious. Recycling recyclable materials, particularly those that are in everyday use, such as paper, glass, and plastics has become a commonplace practice to prevent these types of materials from being dumped into landfills and increasing mankind’s carbon footprint on our planet.
Whilst such initiatives are essential and admirable, it is highly unlikely that a totally paper-free world of business, industry, and commerce will become a reality in the foreseeable future. Although technological and electronic inventions have helped mankind to cut back on its reliance on keeping paper-based records, this practice has not been entirely eliminated.
In virtually all spheres of life, important documents, contracts, and agreements between parties are still signed personally in ink on paper. Copies are made and these, plus originals are filed away in specially secured cabinets, where they are stored, some in perpetuity and for posterity, depending on their significance.
Today, Quantum Office Furniture looks at the use and storage of paper-based records from two perspectives – the people generating and/or relying on paperwork and secondly, those responsible for their accessibility and storage, the supply of various filing cabinet solutions being one of our specialities.
Like many other people, you have probably also been in someone else’s office in which the working surface of the desk, tables, and shelves are hidden beneath piles of paper. You wonder how the occupant ever manages to get any work done amidst such awful clutter, and why they have not invested in one or more filing cabinets with which to create and maintain a sense of order and tidiness. You wonder which of the following reasons apply:
The person deems it safer and more convenient to keep hard or paper copies as a backup and easy reference.When your boss unexpectedly asks you for a particular file that possibly dates back some time, containing transactions that were concluded quite long ago, and it is abundantly clear that they are in a great hurry to get their hands on the contents, you do not have a moment to waste. They want the file and they want it now; yesterday would be better but right now will do. The boss trusts you to know where it is.
There is no time to stop and think about where you may have stored the required paperwork. If your office is adequately furnished and equipped, it is off to the filing cabinet you go. If not, you may have a problem since it is up to you to know exactly where you have stored each document for which you are responsible.
To ensure a neat, tidy, and streamline office environment in which all relevant parties have quick, easy, and convenient access to their important documents and records, Quantum Office Furniture offers a comprehensive range of cabinets and software, as well as cupboards of various sizes and storage capacities to suit all types of workspaces and the paperwork they generate.
Cabinets and cupboards with doors feature integrated locks for extra secure storage.
No modern office is complete – not to mention neat, tidy, and functioning optimally – without its filing cabinets and storage solutions. Contact Quantum Office Furniture today for your state-of-the-art system.
