Are you aware of time periods involved, though? When you say "new data" do you understand that this new data will only become pertinent in about 50 years, when the employee that just came in to system, retires. 50 years later. And meanwhile, you are processing paperwork for people that entered the system 50 years ago: on today, 1964. (Ok, maybe closer 40 years, but the point is the very long storage time.) Even if all new data is digital today, what about 50 years later, how easy will it be to use digital files that were generated 50 years earlier. What if file formats change every 10 years. Then 50 years on, you got 5 different file formats you must be able to work with.
