The Scanning Process

The conversion of paper documents to digital is achieved using the following process:

  • Preparation – We remove and repair damaged pages.
  • Scanning – Images are scanned at 300dpi, black & white or color.
  • Intelligent Software – Auto orientation, removal of blank pages, OCR (OCR reads the text and converts it to digital characters, which allows you to search for specific words), form recognition, and barcode detection.
  • Image quality control – Manual check of every scanned image to ensure consistent quality.
  • Indexing – Scanned images are named to the agreed format for ease of retrieval.
  • Image Delivery – Scanned images can be hosted by us and accessed via our secure Web portal or sent on encrypted hard drives or uploaded onto clients’ servers.
  • All documents returned to their original state if required.
  • After scanning your documents can be returned to you, securely stored by us or securely destroyed.
