A lack of proper physical records management within an organization causes inefficiencies and misplaced files, resulting in wasted time and money. FileTrail for SharePoint extends SharePoint capabilities to deliver complete physical records management and tracking. Users gain an integrated view of both physical and electronic documents, and the built-in legal hold, retention, disposition, workflows and security (IRM) are applied to all records. In addition, FileTrail for SharePoint adds tools specifically for physical records including current location, request retrieval and more. The powerful technology of RFID is utilized in FileTrail for SharePoint, enhancing management and compliance of physical records and cutting the time to audit by as much as 85 percent. FileTrail's RFID technology also allows for streamlining movement-based transactions such as check-in, check-out, boxing for storage, and more, acting as a faster-than-bar coding tool.

"With a growing market demand for physical item compliance and management, minimizing business risk and accelerating business processes are becoming more critical to organizations," commented Mervau.
