Documents scanned to BS 10008 standards: Legal Admissibility of Electronic Information
Scanning individual pages is one thing, but what if the information you have is in a bound book or ledger? Not a problem. With a selection of flatbed, V-shaped, overhead (also known as orbital or planetary) scanners to choose from, our team will keep your books in perfect condition while creating crystal clear copies of the pages. We use high-resolution settings and controlled lighting to accurately capture text and images. Our experienced staff operate to BS 4971 standards: Conservation and Care of Archive Library Collections; and are screened to BS7858 security standards.
Our trained, security-vetted staff will collect your books in high-security, GPS-tracked vehicles to be scanned at our specialist premises.
We’re big enough to be trusted by everyone from household names to public services, but we don’t have the cumbersome internal structures of the very largest suppliers.
We’re trusted by 11,500 customers. We have every security feature, ISO, and British Standard certification you’d expect, including all scanning facilities covered by BS 10008.
We apply metadata and OCR to your digitised books so you don’t have to spend hours searching for the relevant data, and the scanned pages can be easily located in your digital archive.
Our team checks for clarity, completeness and alignment – and rescans anything substandard. Specialist software corrects page curvature for easy reading.
Outsource your end-to-end records management to Europe’s largest privately owned information management supplier, from storage to scanning to digital technologies.
