A number of industries use traditional document files; however, many of them have been transitioning to a digital format through a process called digitization. This allows them to scan their paperwork to an online platform.

While this seems simple enough for standard-sized documents, industries who work with much larger papers may not think that these documents can be converted to a digital format. Industries such as engineering, utility, architecture, or city planning industry, often make use of large blueprints, for example.

Safely storing blueprints is crucial, as they’re likely to be referred to at a later date. Preserving these documents is important for future additions and even public record. Unfortunately, these documents tend to decay or fade over time if stored poorly. At Global Document Services, we work with various industries that require large format scanning, as well as industries needing litigation and medical document scanning. If you’re in need of a solution for worn out blueprints and documents, we have compiled a list of benefits of our large format scanning services:

In any instance, it’s better to be safe than sorry. When your company refers back to previous work, you don’t want to take the chance of such important documents getting damaged. By digitizing your documents, you can safely store all of your blueprints or drawings online, and just as easily retrieve them when needed. There is no need to worry about documents and blueprints getting lost, damaged, misplaced or even mislabelled when they’re stored online or on a shared network drive. All scanned documents will be safely archived, streamlining workflow efficiency.
