See How Your Documents Will Work Before the Full Project Begins
Test the complete document scanning process with a representative sample of your own records. Together, we validate image quality, document organization, indexing and delivery, so you can move forward with confidence.
A Proof of Concept Makes the Unknown Visible
Every collection is different. A proof of concept lets us work through the details using the documents, filing practices and destination system that matter to your organization.
Instead of relying on a generic demonstration, you see how your own information will be prepared, scanned, organized, searched and delivered. We use what we learn to refine the process and establish a practical scope for production.
Test the Parts That Matter to Your Project
Your proof of concept is shaped around your records and goals. It can be straightforward or include more advanced processing.
Document Preparation
We evaluate staples, clips, folders, tabs, mixed sizes and other preparation requirements that affect the production process.
Scanning & Image Quality
We confirm resolution, colour settings, page orientation, legibility and the handling of fragile or specialized material.
File Organization
We test document separation, bookmarks, folder structures and file naming that match how your team works.
Indexing & Search
We validate OCR, metadata and indexing fields so the finished information is easy to locate and use.
AI-Assisted Processing
Where appropriate, we can test AI-assisted classification, data extraction, naming and summaries to determine what is practical for production.
Delivery & Integration
We confirm delivery into SharePoint, your document management system, secure download or encrypted media.

Tell Us What You Would Like to Test
You do not need to have every detail figured out. Tell us about your records and the outcome you are trying to achieve. A document specialist will help identify a useful, representative sample.
We review your information, contact you to discuss the sample and requirements, then outline the recommended next steps. Submitting the form does not commit you to a full project.
Proof of Concept FAQs
What documents should we include?
Select a sample that reflects the variety and challenges of the larger collection. This may include different document types, paper sizes, filing methods, image quality or indexing requirements. We can help you choose the right sample.
Can you test our naming and indexing requirements?
Yes. The purpose is to validate how files should be separated, named, organized and indexed before production begins. We can also compare more than one approach when needed.
Can the files be prepared for SharePoint or another system?
Yes. We regularly prepare files and metadata for SharePoint, document management platforms, line-of-business systems, secure download and encrypted media.
Can a proof of concept include AI?
Where it adds practical value, we can test AI-assisted classification, extraction, naming or summaries. Results are reviewed so we can determine whether the approach is dependable and appropriate for production.
What happens to our original documents?
Originals can be returned or securely destroyed after your approval, depending on the agreed process and your records-management requirements.
What happens after we approve the sample?
We use the agreed results to define the production workflow, confirm the scope and prepare the next-step recommendation for the larger project.
