TIMG - The Information Management People No Images? Click here
 
 
 

Overall, we have made great inroads into new markets by offering our clients e-business solutions. Innovation, creativity and personalised service are critical factors to ensuring we are competitive in a crowded industry.

Our core business of information management, data and document storage has allowed us to consistently expand our client base across many industries. By value-adding our services with cloud-based solutions to safeguard data and streamline work processes, TIMG is continuing to evolve and remain relevant.

Earlier this year, TIMG launched a new brand - a modern and vibrant image to reflect the digital space we operate in. The strategic acquisition of LitSupport provided new market opportunities and new services offerings for both our companies.

We faced our challenges as well.  

 
 

Across the country, wild weather impacted some of our clients but our teams of professional staff ensured that we met all our commitments.

 The transfer of operations to new premises in Queensland and South Australia meant our staff worked tirelessly to move hundreds of thousands of archives without incurring any disruption to services. Their success in achieving a smooth transition to the new premises is a great credit to the State Managers and their dedicated teams. 

As a company, one of our key aims is to help organisations understand and meet their legal requirements under the Privacy Act. Off-site storage and digital backup systems give companies protection and security against loss of personal data, and business records through cyber-attacks or disasters.

We look forward to developing mutually beneficial relationships with our clients and providing exceptional personalised service in line with their needs, now and in the future. 

 
 
 

Many Hollywood movies have focused on plots involving cyber-crime and identity theft. Today the threat is very real.  Billions of people around the world have become victims of stolen data and fraud. Organised crime has gone high tech; some holding companies’ records to ransom.  Other criminals steal passwords and identities, and hack into financial accounts.  Some lure their victims by posing as legitimate businesses through phishing sites or various scamming emails. The financial and personal loss worldwide is astronomical.

While nations focus on various strategies to combat these problems globally; in Australia, the government has extended the Verification of Identity (VOI) standards to the property industry. The VOI provides a framework to authenticate the identity of people or organisations involved in a conveyancing transaction, thereby reducing the risk of land title fraud and other improper land dealings.  

 
 

The VOI Checks for conveyancing are being rolled out nationally by the Federal Government.  Checks must be done in person through authorized agencies.

Cyber-crime is a reality. All businesses are liable under the Privacy Act  to ensure data is secured and disposed of safely. In the event that data privacy has been compromised by another party, businesses may still be held accountable.  Offsite secure storage of documents, data tapes or media is still the most efficient method  to prevent against accidental loss or theft of sensitive information; having reliable back-ups and disaster recovery systems is paramount.

Here are some tips on how to safeguard against identify theft and who to contact in an emergency. 

 
 
 

Did you know that thousands of companies are now responsible for collecting and storing Verification of Identity (VOI) documents.  If you’re involved in conveyancing you are especially affected; how are you managing to safeguard VOIs and comply?

Not sure?  TIMG can help with VOI Report Vault.

Don’t hold paper copies or scanned images inhouse and run the risk of exposing your company to hefty fines through accidental loss or theft.  Instead, create a VOI episode in the Report Vault and upload images or information directly to the TIMG secure website.  VOIs can be easily retrieved online via name, subject matter, file number and even date. Once found, upload, comply and relax!

 
 

There’s no need to worry. Your files and data are securely stored offsite on servers in Australia. TIMG’s operations are certified to and/or compliant with the highest Australian and international records management standards.

If you’re hanging on to files on behalf of clients, this is a huge expense. By using TIMG, you can recover the cost and remove the hassle.

Not only do you save valuable office space by removing paper records or data tapes from your premises but you gain peace-of-mind.

VOIs are hot potatoes – don’t be caught out – contact your local TIMG representative on 1300 764 954 for a demonstration on how the VOI Report Vault can help your business.

State Manager Ivan Dennis and the WA team run a tight ship. Since 2010, archive records, data tape storage, plus document and media destruction services have been housed under the one roof.  Ivan likes to say that “TIMG WA can service everything from creation to cremation”; in other words, they help clients set up and manage their information systems, store and retrieve data safely as well as securely destroy unwanted records.

Having a small team means that people need to multi-task across many areas; everyone pitches in and is across multiple roles. Clients benefit, as it means more people know and understand their business needs.

Maintaining regular contact with clients and providing that exceptional personal service is really what makes TIMG WA most competitive in a very crowded market.  Ivan and his team have carved out a niche in the medical sector. They service one third of the hospitals and aligned health industries providing offsite storage and an efficient software retrieval and tracking system. The remainder of their valued clients are in the small business sector, professional services and natural resources industries.

 “Hospitals can’t afford to lose valuable records, especially when lives are a risk. Offsite storage gives them security but it means we have to be on our game. We’re on call 24/7 to make sure the right information is retrieved immediately. Responding to a 3am phone call to retrieve a file urgently, is all part of the service”, Ivan said.

 
 

Clients appreciate this commitment to service and that’s why TIMG WA received this glowing recommendation from a Private Hospital with over 300 beds in Perth.

“At all times, TIMG have remained efficient and punctual. Communication has been of a high standard, and we are able to contact TIMG at any time. TIMG were extremely helpful with the initial set up and training of staff. In my own personal experiences with other offsite storage providers TIMG is a far more professional and accurate service provider.” Health Information Manager.

TIMG’s recent acquisition of LitSupport has given WA an end-to-end Electronic Document, Bureau and Consulting service to offer clients. While LitSupport specialises in the processing and analysis of hardcopy and electronically sourced evidentiary materials for the legal industry, its services can be applied across many industries. Our relationship with LitSupport has been working well with many clients benefiting from the additional services.

Since starting in 2008, under the Databank brand, TIMG WA has steadily increased its market share largely due to its overall efficiency, dedicated staff and ability to be flexible and responsive.  Its continued success relies on a simple formula; exceptional service, multi-skilled team; and an astute ability to envisage business needs today and in the future.
