Scanning documents is an excellent way to free up space and reduce paper clutter in your office. While you might think of document scanning as a simple process for scanning your average paperwork, scanning professionals offer a diverse range of services.
Document scanning services take your physical files, run them through a scanner, and return a digital file that mirrors the paper copy. It might be enough for your company to have simple images of your files, but scanning service providers can give you added capabilities that can make life much easier.
Professional Scanning Services

Rather than feed single pages into a scanner and manage each file individually, high-quality scanners can handle large volumes of documents in a single instance. This type of efficiency can be the difference between a several-week long scanning process and a several-day long project.
Large Format Scanning
Large Format ScanningIf you have maps, engineering or architectural drawings, posters, or anything as large as 54” by 72”, an extra large scanning device will be required.
Large format scanning services will deliver high-quality images of large physical items. You can choose the resolution, the file type and size, and whether or not you need your items in color or black and white.
OCR Scanning

Microfilm and Microfilche Scanning

Onsite and Offsite Scanning
Scanning is typically performed offsite, however you can request onsite scanning if your documents require the utmost security.
