Cities like Elgin are grappling with the ever-growing challenge of managing extensive collections of paper records. Over decades, the accumulation of historical documents and essential files has stretched storage capacities to their limits. This has led to rising costs as cities turn to external storage solutions, while outdated manual filing and retrieval processes further strain productivity and create delays.
To address these pressing challenges, the City of Elgin took a transformative step by implementing the Virtual FileRoom™ software by COMPU-DATA. This advanced data management solution redefined how the city manages and retrieves its records.
