The Challenges
Your printed and heritage documents are often unique – and potentially at risk, which can be a challenge, both when they are in use and in safe storage.
- Your Printed and Heritage Documents are more than likely unique and as such, the information contained within, at risk of loss
- All Livery Companies hold important and confidential data – again, often at risk
- Many Livery Companies cannot easily search their records, which can lead to a great deal of wasted time and resources
- Many Livery Clerks cannot interrogate past records (even over the last few years)
- Research by and into Livery Companies is very difficult, or even virtually impossible, because of the nature of the documentation and its storage methods
- Masters and other senior Members cannot easily create a record of their achievements
- Many Livery Companies could not easily produce accurate historical reports or even sets of Minutes and Records for their Membership
- Some Livery Companies do not have Disaster Recovery plans in place
- Some Livery Companies do not have Business Continuity (a total back-up of everything, including your system set-up, not just duplication of certain records)
