There are many reasons why a business may choose to scan and convert paper documents into digital files. If your business has compliance requirements or regulations for data retention, paper files can be cumbersome and much more expensive to store than their digital counterparts.

After scanning, your documents are carefully indexed and organized by any identifier(s) on the documents of your choosing, allowing you to locate any file almost instantaneously by a simple text search, greatly improving efficiency.

The cost of storing paper files tends to be far greater than the cost of digital storage. For that reason, our document scanning service tends to pay for itself. Plus, if you require even infrequent access to your data, the efficiency of searching digital files vs. rummaging through a filing cabinet is a huge time/cost savings.

  • Remote employees
  • Multiple business locations
