Where to put the files

Technology has changed our lives. How we stay in touch with friends and family, shop for household goods, and even run businesses has evolved rapidly.
Companies in particular need to target highly connected online audiences who demand anytime, anywhere access to information and products and implement technology solutions that enable more competitive operations.

For many, this means moving to cloud computing, reducing the need for physical on-site storage of documents and hardware in favor of digital records and wireless solutions.

Below we share some items your business can store in a storage unit to create more space while your company modernizes its technology.

Document storage

Customer records, employee files, tax documents and product data are just some of the many documents that companies have archived in the past.

Generally, the need to retain these documents results in a room full of boxes that have been carefully collected and catalogued to make the data accessible for future needs. As these records become electronic, older paper files can be stored off-site in a self-storage unit.

The space created can then be used more effectively.

Power and network cables that have become redundant

Desktop computers and phones have historically chained your team to their desk. Now it's becoming more common to have a mobile workforce that can access and work from anywhere. Wireless access eliminates the need for spare extension cords and other accessories. While it's still good to have a few on hand, it's a safe bet that you can store most off-site in a self storage unit and have them accessible for short-term use when needed.

Old hardware and parts

While new technology often means "out with the old and in with the new," this doesn't necessarily mean that the old is no longer useful. Hardware parts can easily be recycled for use in newer products. Consider breaking hardware down into smaller pieces and storing motherboards, batteries, hard drives, and more in a climate-friendly storage box. You never know when a part might see new life in the next gizmo.
