Storing fulfilled forms

The forms can be filled in two types of support, paper or digital. In some companies, paper-based records are digitized a posteriori.

Records in digital support are archived on the company's server.

Paper-based records are filed in folders according to rules and filing criteria defined on a case-by-case basis by the companies.

The bottom line is: records are the memory of the company. If we can't access the records we need when we need them, we're a memoryless company. Memoryless companies don’t learn.
