Establishing a Retention Schedule has Never Been Easier!
Graas provides a fully researched and vetted retention schedule
This is backed by Iron Mountain and updated regularly to account for new laws and retention regulations—giving organizations the comfort they need to take action and destroy documents and do it with confidence.
Researching and formulating a complete information governance policy for any content services platform—requires more time, money, and resources than most organizations can afford or support, leading to a lack of confidence in their policies. As a result, they compromise between their policies with practicality and often then choose to retain all of their content forever in fear of destroying content at the wrong time, increasing overall risk including possible legal liability and major fines from a costly audit. Does this sound like your organization? Read on.
Automated management and execution of policy
With GRaaS, checks, statements, and other related transactional documents are automatically destroyed after their retention period expires. Due to the high volume of these kinds of documents—in some cases well over 100,000 items daily—the automation capabilities of GRaaS provided by Document Retention ensure retention policies are consistently applied and documents are destroyed with little human interaction required.

Testimonials
Moving is very paper-intensive and our agents don’t get paid until the paperwork is processed. Expanding our document capture system with IDT allowed us to speed up agent payment, eliminate shipping costs, reduce central processing, and help increase agent loyalty and recruitment. It is a completely automated process and really gives us a leg up on our competitors.
