Document Scanning – London
How does document scanning work?
Initially we like to have a face to face meeting which is offered free of charge, in order to understand your current circumstances, objectives and future scanning needs. At this meeting, we will review the archived documentation you may have and provide you with formal advice on the most cost-effective scanning solution, the various options regarding reviewing the digitised documents and the most appropriate fee structure to remunerate us. In most circumstances, this will result in a written proposal and recommendations being prepared for you, addressing the current project and recommendations for future scanning.
Collection
The logistics team will contact you to arrange the most convenient date and time to collect the documents from your premises, offsite storage or an incumbent storage provider.
We collect from across the UK and Europe, so it doesn't matter where you're based. The volume doesn't matter either, whether it’s a small project of several archive boxes or a large project of several thousand, we handle all of the logistics for you.
Once your boxes arrive we check them in and allocate each box a barcode tracking label. This allows us to know where your box of documents is at all times. It also means that if you need access to your information, quickly, we can accelerate the digitisation process and have the images available to you in the shortest time possible.
Production
Once in production each box of documents is allocated to a member of our preparation team who remove all fastenings, folders, staples, paperclips and bindings. Each team member of only allocated 1 box at a time and completes the preparation of this box before commencing a new one. This eliminates any chance of document cross contamination during the document scanning phase.
All the documents we convert are processed in full compliance with British Standard Institute BIP0008, 'Evidential weight and legal admissibility of information stored electronically'. This is essential in ensuring the authenticity and content of the electronic images can never be questioned.
FreeDocs or Return
We work quickly to convert your paper documents into digital images. We can return the digital images to you either electronically or on portable media. Alternatively you may choose to access the images online using our Cloud based hosting system, FreeDocs. If you wish we can send them back using FTP or SFTP, or we can return the images to you on a hard drive or memory stick.
