Questions To Ask a Records
Management Provider
Are They Professional?
Do they know the records management industry and the various technologies available? Do they understand the specific needs of your company and your industry and the regulations that may govern it (e.g., HIPAA, etc.)? Do they offer a fee schedule that is easy to understand and compare to other vendors?
Can They Deliver On Promises?
Are they promising more than they can actually deliver? Are they providing the level of cost-savings and efficiency that was promised? Are they doing a better job than your previous vendor or your in-house staff could do?
Will They Adapt To Your Needs?
Are they willing to create a program tailored to your specific needs or do they ask you to adapt to a system they already have in place? Do they offer methods to simplify your processes or do they actually add to your workload?
What Do Their Clients Say About Them?
Check references and ask hard questions. Find out how they handle problems that arise. Ask if they experience price increases consistently. Try to speak to the “front-line” people that deal with the vendor on a daily basis.
Will They Deliver The Level Of Customer Service You Require?
Are they as responsive once you become a client as they were when you were a prospective client? Are you able to speak with a person or do you have to maneuver through an automated phone system when you call their office?
