It begins with two criteria – physical location and a process. The rest is a matter of security preferences and achieving greater business efficiency. Making those choices strategically can have a major impact on productivity and profitability.
We can guide you through the issues to pinpoint the approach that works with your current process, and if you don’t have one, we will help you with that, too. The choices you make begin with understanding what you have in place now.
Which one below best describes your current process?
