##### Most municipalities store decades of documents across multiple locations such as:

- Shared network drives
- Personal user folders

##### Common challenges include:

- No visibility into what documents exist
- Duplicate and redundant files
- Outdated or unmanaged records
- Difficulty responding to FOIP/FOIA requests

- Lack of alignment with municipal records retention policies

These environments often contain **millions of files with little or no structure.**
