Case Study: Franklin Regional Retirement Systems achieves disaster recovery and secure document backup with Square 9 Softworks GlobalSearch

Franklin Regional Retirement Systems backs up critical data with Square 9 Softworks to avoid $10 million in losses

Franklin Regional Retirement Systems, the retirement system for government employees in 40 Massachusetts towns, faced the challenge of securely backing up critical employee documents to prevent catastrophic financial loss in the event of a disaster. Executive Director Dale Kowacki sought an affordable and easy-to-use solution to protect this sensitive data without relying on expensive outside services. They turned to Square 9 Softworks and its GlobalSearch document management software for a solution.

Square 9 implemented its GlobalSearch system, which allowed staff to easily scan, index, and store documents as PDFs using a copier and barcode cover sheets. This provided a reliable and secure backup with data stored both electronically and off-site on DVDs. The solution gave the executive director considerable peace of mind, knowing they could recover from a disaster quickly. Square 9's software also saved the organization from potential losses estimated at millions of dollars due to miscalculated benefits and eliminated the high cost of data reconstruction.
