FileBank and The Performing Arts

FileBank is an extremely diverse document management company, from storing important Municipal documents, to the storage of Anna Banana, the Muppet. Below are three major corporations we have the pleasure of doing business with, and who are considered performing arts companies:

The Metropolitan Opera: FileBank was introduced to The Performing Arts since our very beginning, with The Metropolitan Opera being our first client. It started off as a small favor for a friend, storing insignificant costumes boxes in our use-to-be photography corporate headquarters. Now, over twenty years later, they currently hold the most cubic feet of storage at our Archive Center, with various sized racks, costumes, and props all in their own, secluded corner, in which they rent out. They visit our facility weekly, and have never had an issue with racks being out of place, or missing.

The New York City Ballet: The New York City Ballet has been a client of ours since 2011. The service we provide to them is FileBox. This is the simple storing of individual containers.

The Muppet Studios/Puppet Heap: The Muppet Studios have been a client of ours also since 2011. They are another client who holds hundreds of cubic feet solely for their puppets, and their props.  They have our database at their location, which makes for easy access for data entry via their office, as well as easy retrieval of boxes for next day, rush, or emergency deliveries.

FileBank Launches LL 84 Initiative To Assist Property Managers in NYC

Interacting with government policy is one of the most challenging tasks a business can take on. Recently, that challenge in New York City became a little bit more difficult with the passage of local law 84. LL # 84 is a recent measure passed in order to help make NYC’s buildings greener and more energy efficient. According to this law, owners of buildings in the city are responsible for benchmarking how much energy and water they use every year, and then saving this information for 3 years, and making it available for inspection by the government during that time. Though this law might seem like just another example of so much more bureaucratic red tape, FileBank has devised innovative, cost effective solutions that can assist property managers in compliance.

FileBank is prepared to become a property manager’s back office in order to make compliance with LL 84 a breeze instead of a chore. Because of our company’s convenient location in urban New Jersey, we already make frequent deliveries and other work related trips into the city. Our customers already enjoy the benefits of having all the functions of a back office delegated to FileBank: their documents are instantly accessible online through an easy-to-use system, their physical files are available to be delivered to their offices on a one hour or overnight basis, they receive professional help interacting with local government, and their files are shredded in a safe, redundant process when they’ve reached their expiration date. We intend to apply all of these skill sets to clients that want assistance complying with LL 84.

So stay tuned for more news about this exciting new initiative. FileBank is eager to contribute to the creation of a greener community in NYC, and to the bottom line of our business neighbors across the river.

Until next time,
