4 CONCLUSION
The purpose of using digital data storage instead of physical data storage is that it would increase
the work space in the Indonesian Bureau of Logistics’ head office. In fact, based on the calculation
this step will save around 217 m 2 on the 6th, 9th, 10th floors in total. Having on-premises data
storage will save approximately 213 m 2 , adding around 0.1–0.5 % of workable office space. As an
alternative, using both physical and digital data storage in the office still saves space but it is not
optimal. The result of using digital data storage off-premises is an option for offices that need more
space for its employees. As a result, having more space for the office means that space density will
decrease. In this case, the average density ratio turns into spacious density.
