What kind of items do you scan?

Our team use specialist scanners and technology for different types of project, including:

  • High volume scanning of documents and files
  • Bound books and ledgers
  • Over-sized, large format documents – architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, maps or plans
  • Legacy formats like microfilm, microfiche, old photographs or delicate documents from the archives
  • Incoming mailroom items, scanned on receipt in processing centres
  • Court or other legal documents, covered by BS10008 for legal admissibility

How do you make sure scans are high quality?

We use high-resolution scanners and carry out quality checks to ensure clear and accurate digital copies. We offer colour scans as required and typically provide scanned files in PDF or TIFF, but can deliver in different formats on request.

We work in a sector with unusual formats or complex documents, can you scan those?

We have 25 years’ experience and work with 11,500 clients, many of whom operate in highly-regulated sectors. Documents we have expertise in scanning include:

  • Legal documents with complex formatting, including legal briefs, contracts, and case files – scanned in formats compatible with case management systems
  • Highly confidential documents which we manage using confidentiality protocols and secure file transfer methods to protect sensitive information
  • Medical records including patient files, charts and imaging reports – we adhere to NHS DSPT, Cyber Essentials Plus, BS 10008 and GDPR, and other healthcare regulations to ensure the secure handling of patient data. Scanned files can easily be integrated into your Electronic Health Record (EHR) system
  • Financial documents including statements, tax records and contracts, and historical financial records which we can digitise for easier preservation of, and access to, their data
  • Energy sector records like largescale maps, plans and well logs, which can be scanned and digitised for easier analysis

If our scanned documents had to be used in a legal process, would they be admissible?

In order to prove that a digital file is a true representation of a hard copy, it must have been scanned in premises covered by BS 10008: Evidential Weight and Legal Admissibility of Electronic Information. You may find some suppliers reference this British Standard but don’t hold the certification at the site where the digitisation is happening. That’s a big problem if you need to use a document in legal proceedings and the original has been destroyed in order to free up space. All OASIS scanning sites are covered by BS 10008. It’s one reason we’ve been trusted by several police forces to digitise critical and confidential files.

How does your scan on demand service work?

Scan on demand is a service that allows you to request the scanning of specific documents stored in our facility and receive digital copies quickly. We offer rapid delivery of scanned documents, depending on the urgency. You can request the scanning of multiple documents, and they’ll be delivered as a batch. It’s quick and easy to search for files and request a scan using our online portal.
