Re: £1m per trust for storing paper
Not a lot actually. The costs for scanning for a large trust are around £30k a year, around 100k images a month, 4GB of storage per month scanned.
One trust has around 11 years of records stored on their site and can search a selected month in less than a few seconds. Searching the whole lot takes about half hour but they should never need to do that. All browser capable but they prefer the client application.
If they bought the license now it would cost around £2M but upgrade rights are great in this case. .. they paid £50k for it with £3k a year for renewals.
Anon obviously.
