Electronic Recording Stats

I recently did some calculations of our electronic recording volume. Here are the annual totals since we began: In 2005, we recorded 1057 documents electronically; in 2006, we recorded 1871; in 2007, we recorded 3491; in 2008, we recorded 3956; and in 2009, we recorded 8168. Throughout this time, the percentage of recordings attributable to electronic recorded always topped out at about 12% of our daily recordings.

For the first five and a half months of 2010, however, the percentage of documents being recorded electronically has risen to 15% (of 24,597 total recordings, 3,739 were recorded electronically). But we have also found that the volume of electronic recordings is not consistent on a day-to-day basis. For instance, on one out of three days, electronic recording accounted for more than 20% of that day's recordings. The largest number of e-recordings we ever handled in a single day so far this year was on May 28 when 76 documents were recorded electronically. The highest percentage occurred on April 6 when 33% of the documents recorded that day were processed by electronic means.
