Off-Site and On-Site Tape Inventory Audits
Whether your library is located on-site at your facility, or off-site at a storage facility, or in multiple locations, Media Recovery can provide the inventory and auditing services to help you assess the status and location of all your media.The need for an audit can arise from a number of different circumstances, including regulatory requirements, an upcoming relocation or consolidation, a pending merger or acquisition, or a liquidation sale. Regardless of the reason, the real benefit of an accurate inventory and audit is access to complete information for key decision making. Access to this information can allow your organization to plan, budget, implement new processes, and purchase new equipment with complete knowledge of your current situation.
The undertaking of an audit is best done by experienced third-party professionals that have a clear understanding and knowledge of the challenges that are typically encountered during an audit. These include: experience identifying numerous types and manufacturers of tape and equipment, scheduling audits for multiple locations, and locating rogue assets, and the accounting of newly acquired assets.
Most experts recommend tape audits be done annually to allow you to assess tapes for recycling, disposal, reuse, or to identify missing tape information. A regular tape audit will also provide you with the information necessary to retrieve critical information when the need arises.
Media Recovery has handled tape audits for hundreds of companies. With years of experience in a wide variety of complex business environments, you can count on Media Recovery to provide you with an efficient and complete audit of your assets.
