Document scanning is the process of digitizing paper documents – converting them from paper format to digital images or text through the help of high-speed scanners. When in combination files are properly indexed, the documents make it easy for them to be searched and accessible through a computer or other devices they are stored on.

You can certainly scan your documents yourself if they are very small in amount. However, the process of scanning large documents is time-consuming and can also be a waste of money for you. For one, you need professional equipment, staff, and expertise to scan large documents in quality formats. Secondly, the time and money to be invested in a DIY could be focused on better company objectives or goals. Large document scanning requires expertise and experience, which you or your employees may not have.

We're able to provide a complete service, which includes preparation of files, removing staples, photocopying, removing poly pockets etc. This will be clearly broken down within your bespoke quote.

The cost of scanning your documents depends solely on certain factors. Some of these factors include:

• The number of boxes (or pages) you need to be scanned.
• The types of documents involved (such as books, maps, backfiles, journals, hand notes, etc.).
• The extra services you require along with the scanning (such as OCR).
• The number of obstructions we have to deal with (such as the volume of wrinkles, staples, clips, and wears and tears).
