Intelligently making the physical, digital
Digitising handwritten and printed information helps to make text indexable and searchable.
Scanning your documents can make them digitally available in seconds, but digitisation technology can take this one step further.
This allows you to properly archive and share even handwritten notes.
What can document digitization do for your data?
- Efficient: Retrieving digital files saves time and is less prone to human error. Digital documents can be easily accessed, from anywhere, allowing employees to do more important things than managing tedious physical archives.
- Flexibility: Companies can discover opportunities from evaluated insights using digital data, allowing them to stay ahead of the competition.
- Security: Scanning documents create a safe repository of data, preventing important information from the risks of loss, theft and environmental degradation.
- Preservation: more convenient than making a copy, a scanned document creates a master variant, from which any number of further copies can be produced, both in electronic and printed form.
- Communication: digitized information from scanning documents is easier to share, formatted in standard file types for immediate transfer to both clients and employees.
- Searchable: Improvements in the accuracy of software to recognize text, handwriting and form fields have revolutionized records management. Making it possible to dig ever deeper into previously inaccessible information.
