Document Imaging and Archiving

There was a time, in the early days of personal desktop computers, that industry experts actually promised that a “paperless society” was coming. Of course, that concept seems laughable now, as many businesses now require more paper and document storage than ever.

However, document imaging and archiving actually can seriously reduce the amount of paper that most businesses must store by converting your hard copy paper documents into digital files (TIF/PDF). Once they are imaged, we can process those documents with optical character recognition (OCR), which is the mechanical or electronic translation of printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text (for example, into ASCII codes).

Our staff can also further process your data by manually coding fields, such as handwritten entries on the documents or forms.

From there, Digital Current will help you determine the best digital archiving solution for your information, be that on CD-ROMs, DVDs or external hard drives, or in web repositories. We also work with clients to develop individualized “Day Forward” plans, which are planned logical approaches to convert and archive new documents immediately, preventing the build-up of new incoming paper documents.

So regardless of whether your documents are currently stored in drawers, boxes, closets, rooms or basements, Digital Current can accurately and affordably transform them into digital images. Not only is electronic storage less expensive than almost any physical storage space, it can also be easily and inexpensively duplicated so that your important documents have the security of redundancy.
