* How iForem's online storage could help small businesses
What does starting a small business have to do with storage, you might ask. Consider filing your Articles of Incorporation, licenses and activation codes for software you’ve bought, passwords to bank accounts and the contracts you sign with clients. It’s all about where you store these documents you don’t want to lose.
Right now, I’ve printed these documents off and am storing them in a file cabinet next to my desk. Not a very good idea and not a permanent one in case my office burns down or is blown away in a tornado here in Texas.
That’s where iForem and its Digital Vault come in. With iForem’s online storage, I can store these documents permanently for a small cost. I can retrieve them and authorize my attorney to be able get at them too.
With services iForem introduced this week, I can store passwords and licenses and activation codes online. These services have a perpetual cost of $9.95 each.
In addition, iForem’s Digital LifeStyle Suite contains the Perpetual Password Wallet, Licensing Tracker and Recipe Collector, as well as a journal, inventory minder and receipt tracker. The Digital Lifestye Suite is a steal for $29.95. Add to that the cost of the Digital Vault for $20, which stores data on Amazon’s S3 storage service, and a small business can’t go wrong.
I can permanently lock any folder or record, let others view selected files or enter records and set a retention period for the lifecycle of a document.
