Indexing enables you to find and share your digital documents using a keyword search. This gives you greater accessibility, eliminates wasted time, and allows for centralized digital storage.
Remote Access
Once your large format documents are digitized, they can be accessed from anywhere. This will greatly benefit organizations with multiple offices or remote teams.
