DOCUMENT CONVERSION SERVICES
Document imaging is the conversion of paper documents into electronic images. Once on your computer desktop, these documents can be retrieved effortlessly in seconds. Traditional methods of storing paper and electronic records require a great deal of effort to manage, distribute and locate those documents. As the number of files grows, the time and effort required to manage them also increases.
Document imaging revolutionizes the archival of information and provides the means to rapidly locate, retrieve and share all documents in your system. All document imaging systems should have five basic components:
1. Scanning and importing tools to bring documents into the system
2. Methods for archiving and storing documents
3. Indexing systems to organize documents
4. Retrieval tools to find documents
5. Access control to provide documents to authorized people
Just as the Internet has boomed in popularity because of the fast access it provides for information stored in web pages, document imaging systems provide tremendous value because of the fast access they provide to information stored within an organization's documents. In the document imaging process files are scanned or electronically converted to produce a high-resolution photocopy which is stored on a hard drive or optical disk. Files can be viewed, printed, shared and stored, and imaging adds an enormous advantage by providing active, searchable content.
