What benefits can I expect from storing my documents in digital form, and how much space does document imaging typically require?
With significant drops in prices for hard-drives and optical media, it costs much less to store documents in an electronic management system rather than on paper. A single page typically occupies around 50 KB of disk space, if the image is stored in TIFF Group IV. Each gigabyte (GB) of storage space, which amounts to only a few dollars, holds approximately 20,000 pages.
