Document Scanning Solutions

Depending on your objectives, Pearl Scan Solutions can suggest the best possible document scanning solution or software for your documents, files and forms etc. In order for us to find the best possible document scanning solution for your organisation, we will need to find out what exactly is required at your end along with your motivation and objectives behind your document scanning exercise,

For example, do you wish to have your documents scanned because...

You want to free-up your office space and save your cost?
You are legally required to retain your documents in a secure format for certain period?
So you can share them with others and find them quickly and easily from a central repository?
So you can import them into a document management system? (for high volume back file scanning)
So you can preserve them for a long period of time?

Each of the above will have a slight variation in the document scanning solution, so it is imperative for us to understand what your organisation is trying to achieve.

Pearl Scan Solutions have provided many document scanning solutions which were based on our client’s requirements. When considering the above, it is also useful for us to know where you wish to store your scanned documents and how would you like to access them, for example;

Document Scanning Solutions – scanned and stored onto CD or DVD
Document Scanning Solutions – scanned and stored onto standalone PC
Document Scanning Solutions – scanned and stored onto your network server
Document Scanning Solutions – scanned and stored onto your intranet
Document Scanning Solutions – scanned and stored onto your website
Document Scanning Solutions– scanned and stored onto our online dedicated server

The above storage mediums and access points also play a big roll in the overall document scanning, document conversion and archiving process. For example, if you wish to have your document scanned and share with your colleagues via e-mail or wish them to be archived online, the scanned images, files size and the document scanning format need to be considered prior to the document scanning process. If the file size is too large or the format is non-compatible with windows or the internet browser type, this can cause conflicts or delays in uploading, downloading or viewing large size files.
