In today’s digital age, the importance of safeguarding data and documents cannot be overstated. Whether it’s a natural disaster, fire, or flood, unforeseen events can wreak havoc on your valuable records. However, with the right strategies and partnerships, you can save and return these assets to their pre-loss condition.
One such partnership that has proven to be instrumental in this process is the collaboration between Grace Information Management and Steamatic. Some organisations still prefer to keep their active files within reach, even if it means taking a risk.
Thankfully, unique technologies are available to save and restore data and documents in the face of disaster. The ability to minimise business interruption and loss is paramount, especially when legal and compliance issues come into play. That’s why Grace has been partnering with Steamatic for over eight years.
Steamatic boasts the largest vacuum freeze dryer in the southern hemisphere, capable of restoring large quantities of document archive boxes, artifacts, and objects that have been damaged by water or mould. In under a week, even the largest disasters can be reversed, returning items to their pre-loss condition.
The range of materials that can be saved is impressive:
- Books and loose sheets of handwritten documents
- Maps and technical drawings
- Microfiche/micrographics
- Digital/hard drives/magnetic tapes
- Photographs and film
- Fine art and cultural artifacts
- X-rays
When disaster strikes, the first step is to call Grace, then contact your insurer while Grace and Steamatic get to work. A case study involving a NSW State Government agency highlighted the successful restoration and digitisation of mould-affected records using both Steamatic and Grace services.
Once the records are restored, they can be returned to your facility or to Grace for safekeeping. Additionally, they can be digitised and registered by file, making them accessible through the Grace Digital Office. With Grace’s secure cloud storage, you don’t have to worry about another day being ruined by data loss.
We understand the value of your assets and are committed to finding the best solutions to safeguard and restore your information.
Remember, disasters can strike at any time, so it’s crucial to be prepared. Partnering with experts like Grace and Steamatic ensures that even in the face of adversity, your data and documents can be saved and returned to their pre-loss condition.
