You have to spend money to make money, and at times you have to spend money to save money. You must spend money on raw materials to produce finished goods, and to produce more goods you might have to spend more on equipment.
Similarly, you have to invest in the right systems to control your records. It makes no sense to pay for more records storage space when you could invest in a tracking system to help you dispose of the records you do NOT need. It is also a waste of money to buy more filing cabinets when document imaging may be a more suitable solution for your frequently accessed business documents.
Controlling the costs you incur—spending money on the RIGHT things—produces the best returns on your investments.
