The Typical Scanning Process
Our document scanning bureau provides bespoke imaging solutions. The following is a brief step-by-step guide;
 |
Collection Service Utilising our secure vans and team of collection co-ordinators, we can collect files from anywhere in mainland UK the same or the next day. We can also supply our secure A3 size boxes, which can hold bundles, folders, hanging files etc. |
 |
Removal of Staples and Paperclips Prior to scanning, we go through the files and remove any staples, paperclips, treasury tags etc. This ensures a smooth and accurate scanning process takes place. |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Scanning Process We only use the best scanners equipped with ultra-sonic, double feed detection, automated colour detection and image processing tools. We scan to your preferred format such as PDF, PDF Searchable, TIFF, JPEG etc. We scan paper as small as a till receipt up to A3 as well as large format drawings and plans in full colour or black and white. |
 |
OCR Processing We also offer OCR processing to convert your documents to fully text-searchable PDFs or into a database. This can be very beneficial when it comes to searching for particular files as your files will be completely searchable by text. |
 |
Indexing and Categorisation Once scanned we can then index each document by your preferred choice, for example, Title, Name, Address, Reference number, date etc. |
 |
ISO Quality Checks All our services are fully accredited to ISO 9000:2001 quality assurance standards and in addition to this, we have developed our internal quality control procedures to ensure that the files meet the required industry standards. |
 |
Storage Mediums The scanned data is normally supplied on CD, DVD or USB. When supplying confidential data, we normally encrypt the entire collection using 128-Bit encryption. |
 |
Secure Shredding Once you have approved the disks, your papers can either be returned to you, securely disposed of via environmentally friendly document shredding or we can store these for a further required period. |

Helping the
Environment
By going digital, you can effectively make your office paperless. This can mean that you no longer would need to rely on paper-based files, printing, using the energy that powers your printing machinery, and using harmful inks all of which contribute heavily
Inks used in LaserJet and InkJet printers are found to be harmful to the environment and notoriously difficult to remove from the paper during the recycling process which, many argue, uses harsh and harmful chemicals just to recycle.
Scanning and digital document management not only reduces your need to use more and more paper, but it will also reduce your energy useage and useage costs due to your company no longer needing to use printers as much or even not use them at all, as all files and items can now be added directly into your file management system to be shared with everyone else in the office. Once we have scanned your bulk documents, you can continue to sustain your environmental and cost-cutting

You'll also now be able to pass on PDF's to colleagues and clients rather than printing your files and handing them over and
As a result of this you will contribute to the ongoing effort to sustain our natural surroundings, add to the fight against global warming and make your business more efficient in the process.
