Built around your organization

Different records.
The same need for confidence.

Municipal files, patient records, student archives, legal files and engineering drawings each bring different requirements. We plan the preparation, indexing, access and delivery around the records your team actually uses.

Can we start with a sample or a smaller project?

Yes. A proof of concept can confirm image quality, document separation, naming, indexing and delivery before a larger project. Scope, pricing and turnaround are agreed for your requirements. Larger projects can also be completed in phases.

Can you deliver files to SharePoint or our existing system?

We can prepare searchable files and index data for SharePoint, document management systems and other agreed destinations. We confirm the folder structure, metadata and delivery method during scoping.

What happens to the original paper records?

Return, storage and secure destruction options are agreed as part of the project. Destruction is performed only with authorization, with a certificate provided where applicable.
