The number of Open GI brokers using Maxima's FiSh document management and scanning solutions has increased by 50% in the last year, according to the software house.

Maxima is one of Open GI's strategic document management partners. The FiSh solution is designed to help organisations meet compliance and deliver continual improvements in business performance.

Both Maxima and Open GI attribute the increase to regulatory requirements and the costs associated with storing client information for prescribed periods.

Simon Hughes, sales and marketing director, Open GI, said: “Electronic data storage has become increasingly important for brokers for a number of reasons, one of which is business continuity planning."
