Financial Services Records Management: A Hybrid Approach with DSM

Financial Services Records Management: A Hybrid Approach

In the financial services sector, managing a vast array of documents can be particularly challenging, especially when it comes to integrating paper records with digital files. This dual-format storage often leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and compliance risks. DSM offers a comprehensive solution to streamline your financial records management process, ensuring both paper and digital documents are handled seamlessly.

The Problem

Financial institutions must securely store and manage a multitude of documents, from client contracts to transaction records. The coexistence of paper and digital files complicates this task, making it difficult to maintain an organised system and ensure timely destruction of records. This hybrid financial records storage approach can lead to compliance issues and higher operational costs.

Our Approach

DSM provides an innovative approach to managing your records, focusing on the digitisation and integration of paper documents with digital files. We assist financial institutions in sorting through their archives, digitising paper records, and organising all documents based on their retention schedules. At the end of this process, your institution will receive an up-to-date, unified digital archive, enabling accurate and efficient records management.

5 Key Benefits

  1. Seamless Integration of Paper and Digital Records
    DSM leverages advanced digitisation techniques to convert paper documents into digital formats, ensuring all records are easily accessible and manageable.

  2. Enhanced Compliance and Security
    By maintaining a unified digital archive, you can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and enhance the security of sensitive information.

  3. Cost Reduction and Risk Mitigation
    Digitising and promptly destroying eligible paper records helps reduce storage costs and minimise risks associated with audits, and compliance.

  4. Improved Efficiency and Accessibility
    With all records digitised and organised, your team can quickly access the information they need, improving overall efficiency and decision-making processes.

  5. Data Security

At DSM, we prioritise the security of your data. Our comprehensive data security measures include:

  • Encryption: All digital records are encrypted to protect against unauthorised access.

  • Secure Storage: We use state-of-the-art secure storage solutions to safeguard your documents.

  • Access Controls: Strict access controls ensure that only authorised personnel can access sensitive information.

  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Holding on to paper records longer than necessary only escalates costs and risks. Avoid wasting valuable budget and resources by delaying the inevitable. Transform chaos into compliance with our cost-effective solution, allowing you to organise efficiently, digitise eligible information, and ultimately remove unnecessary costs and risks from your records.
