      Can you imagine how many documents need to be properly accessed and backed up for legal reasons. I have used it for damn near anything. School registration, rental, home buying, legal reasons. There have to be so many redundancies for me and I’m a nobody. Now imagine all that for a modest company? And how many exist. I can see a decent amount of employees to facilitate that.
