For years, microfilm was the storage medium that many organizations relied upon. The advent of the digital age prompted a transition to a digital approach to record-keeping. For many organizations, this presents the question of what to do with their collection of microfilm records. Microfilm records don’t lend themselves to distributed access and your team is forced to go to a centralized microfilm machine to make prints or scans.
One solution: microfilm scanning. This process allows you to store all of the information from your microfilm files in a digital format which is more convenient, saves space and improves access, productivity and collaboration.
Using the latest in high speed microfiche and microfilm scanning hardware and software, we can quickly and easily digitize your existing microfilm collection (whether it is in 16mm or 35mm format) for migration into a digital document management system. This dramatically increases the speed of retrieving documents (thanks to OCR, you can locate a page by any keyword located within it). Through the use of greyscale scanning the process can also improve the quality of images in microfilm files.
If you’ve been putting off this task because you fear converting your microfilm files will be a hassle, relax—we take all of the headaches out of the microfilm scanning process for you. We perform rigorous quality control and assurance checks on all images, provide the digital images in your chosen format and then return your originals to you or securely shred them.
