If you need to free up space in your office, or you are paying for off-site document storage, this service is for you. We utilise the latest scanning technologies and high capacity systems which enable us to convert your documents quickly and accurately into electronic data and images. We can either provide you with a searchable CD or, if you prefer, we can store you documents and give you instant online access. We scan everything from a single document to rooms full of paper!

Scanning is the process of converting hard copy (paper) documents into electronic images, for computer use. Once scanned and placed into the computer system along with a document index database, the document images can be retrieved and viewed effortlessly in seconds.

Our Scanning Bureau encompasses a process that includes scanning but, extends further...

In general, the scanning of documents includes:

• Collection - we collect your documents from your office or storage facility
   
• Document Preparation - unpacking from storage boxes and cabinets, removal of staples, removal from folders and bindings
   

• Scanning - double sided scanning (duplex), colour and B&W
  
  
• Indexing - to enable quick retrieval of documents - either Automatic (barcodes, Optical Character Recognition (OCR)) or Manual (data entry into index fields)
   
• Quality Control - includes checks for document counts, image quality, correct indexing
   
• Delivery - electronic images (TIFF, JPEG, PDF,etc) on CD, DVD. Alternatively, let us store your data and give you instant access via our online system, PaperBusters.NET.
• Document Return - once you are happy with the data, we can either return the originals or have them securely shredded, safe guarding your data at all times.
   

Examples of documents we can scan: Purchase Ledger Invoices, Expense Claims, HR Files, Accounts Payable, Proof of Deliveries, Claims Forms, Membership Forms, Application Forms and many other document types. These images along with associated indexing can be delivered to you for import into your existing Document Management System or we can install you very own system for retrieval.

Whether converting millions of documents from historical files, or capturing day-forward information; whether outsourcing a single function, or an entire conversion process, we have the experience, bandwidth and functional competencies necessary to meet and exceed all expectations.
