Meet the Staff

Daniel Trujillo
Daniel Trujillo 
Dependable is Daniel Trujillo's middle name. This Highland Park graduate has worked at Jayhawk File Express since August 2007 servicing containers on a shred route. "The material we collect is highly confidential," he said, "which is why we keep containers locked inside our locked trucks."
 
Daniel and his wife Eva, and children Stephanie and Alejandro live in Topeka as do both sides of their extended family. "We get together on holidays and weekends; family is very important to me," he said.
  
Serving as defensive tackle on the HPHS football team years back, Daniel continues to enjoy being outdoors fishing and watching his son play baseball and quarterback on his football team. "He's smarter than I am!" he said with a big smile.
 
Daniel says he's very proud of Stephanie, too. "She works to earn the money for her car and college," he said. A strong work ethic spans at least two generations in this family.

Pack & Purge

Let Us Help You Make Your Space More Productive 
 
The new manager ushered her team leaders into the large file room, crowded with filing cabinets, and declared, "This is wasted production space. I want this room cleared out and made into an office this month."
 
Do you have under-utilized space that can be put to more productive use? Jayhawk File Express can purge your file cabinets, pack storage boxes, create an electronic inventory, and have that expensive real estate cleared within days of contracting us. We will store your records, and when you need a file, can pull, prep, scan and send you that imaged file within hours. Or we can bring the file (or box) to you. One 1.2 cubic foot box costs less than $3.00 a year to store at Jayhawk File Express.

Afraid to Shred? 

According to the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM), a paperless society is not something we will soon see. A recent AIIM report "Document Scanning and Capture: local, central, outsource - what's working best?" found that 62% of important paper documents are still archived as paper. Even when documents are sent off for archive scanning, 25% are photocopied beforehand "just in case". Less than a third of the paper originals are systematically destroyed after scanning.

Jayhawk File Express has several solutions for this situation: Store. Scan. Shred. We can store your paper records, provide Scan-on-Demand service or archive imaging, assist you with digital document management, and shred the paper documents at the end of their life cycle.

Legislative Update

Economic Espionage Act of 1996

The Economic Espionage Act (EEA) is a very powerful law that helps with the enforcement of properly handling information. This is the first federal law that defines and severely punishes misappropriation and theft of trade secrets.

A defendant convicted for theft of trade secrets under Section 1832 (which makes the commercial theft of trade secrets a criminal act regardless of who benefits) can be imprisoned for up to 10 years and fined $500,000.  Corporations and other establishments can be fined up to $5 million.

However, according to this act, the government will protect only companies that take "reasonable measures" to safeguard their information.

We would welcome the opportunity to help you make certain your policies and procedures keep your organization in compliance. Contact us to see how we can help.

Identity Theft

ID Theft & Fraudulent US Census Forms 
 
ARMA LogoThe 2010 United States Census is making the rounds of every single household in the country, and it's being used to commit identity theft. This census is mandated by the US Constitution to count every single person in America every ten years. From the results of the census, US Congressional seats are allocated, electoral votes are dictated, and government programs are funded. It's every citizen's patriotic and civic duty to fill out the census, but fake census forms perpetuate identity thefts, and can trap innocent people into handing over their personal information to identity thieves. Click hereto learn about three key ways to distinquish the real US Census Form from fake ones.

Business Tips

Paper Records Protection, PART 3  

Go Electronic

Digitally stored electronic documents are not nearly as susceptible to destruction, accidental or otherwise, as their paper counterparts. They can easily be stored remotely, sent quickly, and viewed by a number of people at once without compromising the original, making them a very versatile and efficient information resource. Converting vital documents into electronic format can be a lifesaver, not only in terms of efficiency, but from a recovery standpoint.
