Microfilm Scanning
Digitizing 16mm and 35mm microfilm improves data accessibility, eliminates the need for aging reader/printers, and ensures long-term preservation of vital records. With digital files, your documents can be stored, retrieved, and shared effortlessly, streamlining workflows and reducing storage space.
Microfiche Scanning
Microfiche is often difficult to read and requires specialized equipment. Digitizing microfiche makes your information instantly searchable, improving efficiency and accessibility. You’ll no longer need to rely on outdated readers or spend time manually scrolling through fiche, streamlining your workflow and boosting productivity.
Aperture Cards
Aperture cards are cumbersome to store and can be prone to damage. By converting them to digital files, you can drastically reduce physical storage needs while creating high-resolution copies that can be easily accessed, edited, and shared—saving you time and resources in managing your information.
Secure and Compliant
We are fully HIPAA compliant and serve clients across a wide range of industries including legal, medical, government, and financial institutions. Our scanning process maintains strict quality control standards to guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of your data.
State-of-the-Art Conversion Technology
Our Team Recreates Your Image in the Highest Quality Possible.
Due to the rapid advancement of technology, the only practical way to store documents and make them accessible for future technologies is through microfilm, fiche and aperture card scanning services. Microform scanning services allow you to digitize these outdated media, creating a more easily manageable system that makes your data more easily adaptable to future technology.
Vulnerable and Obsolete Microforms Are Impacting Your Data Security
Though these formats usually boasts a shelf life of up to 50 years, that isn’t always the case. Check in on your film and fiche. Do you notice any blemishes, vinegar smell, brittleness, stickiness or fungus? These older media types often decay even in environments with climate-control measures in place. Furthermore, there are fewer service providers, technicians and less equipment available in our modern, digital-first environment.
Digitizing these records before they fall to decay and obsolescence prolongs the life of your data in a way that really does last for years.
