Scanning and Imaging

Preserve Material
For material that is damaged or deteriorating, digitization offers an opportunity to provide replacement copies of a quality as good as those generated through preservation by photocopying or microfilming. For rare or fragile material, such copies can be used both to reduce handling and increase access.
Immediate Retrieval
Once the scanning is completed, the files can be easily retrieved at the click of a button. There is NO need to search and find out an old document from the heap of documents. It is quick, easy and reliable.
Image Enhancement
Image enhancement is able to correct deficiencies in the original document. During processing, the captured image is immediately available to the operator, who can inspect it for quality on a real time basis and improve it further.
Easy Accessibility
Digital imaging on disk media allows rapid and random access in a way that no other medium (either tape or film) allows. It also allows the possibility of automatically linking up a search of a bibliographic database with a store of images.
Easy Duplication
Once the data is digitized, it can be easily duplicated at the click of a button. The duplicated copies will be of the same quality as the original one and sometimes even better !

You give us documents.
Scanning
Scanning is done with Flatbed scanners using CCD technology. The images are stored as TIFF images, which can be made compatible to almost any document management software package.
Storing in PDF format
After the files are scanned, their images can be optionally converted to PDF format. The US government uses this format to digitally store and transmit its document. This allow you to open the document in almost every computer platform.
Store to CD-ROM
All the files are stored in a CD-ROM. We also include a search engine that allows you to search any document in seconds. All you need to access the documents in CD is a Multimedia PC and a web browser. No other software is required. A typical CD-ROM can store 10,000-15,000 pages depending on the resolution, paper size etc.
