Backfile Scanning

Backfile scanning, also known as backfile conversion, is the act of replacing large volumes of documents with digital images. Generally backfile scanning consists of digitizing volumes of documents by using high speed scanning methods to convert these legacy documents into digital images which will be stored as document libraries.

You may have millions of records stored on media such as card-stock, maps, microfiche, or microfilm, to name a few. When you need an old file, it could take you hours or days to find it; especially if these physical documents are stored offsite in a warehouse facility. Backfile scanning provides rapid access to these legacy documents in electronic formats.
