Digital documentation boasts a definite and tangible advantage over paper-based records in that it can be accessed quickly and easily across the organisation and edited and re-used as required. A wide range of scanners and document imaging processing (DIP) software is now available to allow you to digitally capture incoming or existing paperwork. Data can be read from such documents and used for data entry or indexing by using optical character recognition (OCR) technology.
Their are various drivers for implementing a document imaging solution whether it be to reduce paper flow, save storage costs associated with filing cabinets or to provide disaster recovery backups of your key data.
Having decided that you need document imaging, the next decision is whether you just need to capture new documents on an ongoing basis (incoming post) or whether you also need to capture an existing collection of documents (a backfile). Many users opt for a bureau service to carry out backfile scans for them.
