Colleagues,
I know this has been disucssed in the past but I wanted an up-to-date opinion on this topic if possible please.

Currently reviewing our scanning procedures at the same time as our archiving requirements/costs I have found that we are archiving all documents we classify as 'high risk'  In our business this is currently letters generally offering funding (for universities/colleges) and the signed acceptance letters received.  We also archive contracts (after scanning and validation of integrity and quality of scan) business case proposals and signed staff contracts.  

We have Livelink EDRMS and this backed up by tape offsite and will soon be on a mirror server as well.

The question is can I convincingly justify non or most of these documents after scanning and validation can be destoyed. or basically, "to stop worrying and learn to love the scan"

Any advice welcome (before I eventually go to our very expensive lawyers!)

Many thanks, Simon.
