Scanning & Retaining Client Financial Records for Vector Financial Solutions

Overview

We recently had the opportunity to assist Vector Financial Solutions, a trusted financial advisory firm based in Escondido, California, in digitizing their older client records. Over time, they had accumulated numerous paper files, which were taking up valuable office space in storage cabinets. To reduce physical storage burdens while ensuring long-term record retention, they reached out to USA Imaging for a comprehensive document scanning solution.

Unlike other projects aimed at streamlining document management, the primary objective here was simply to convert older records into a digital format while retaining them for future reference.

The Challenge

📌 Accumulation of Old Paper Files – Years of client financial records were stored in paper format, occupying filing cabinets and storage areas.

📌 Need for Retention & Compliance – Instead of discarding or purging old records, Vector Financial Solutions needed to preserve all client files while reducing the physical storage burden.
