There are three primary methods of converting files into our unique Navigator™ document management system: We have the capability to scan all types of document from business card size to larger than A0 (we can actually scan a single document two metres wide by 20 metres long). While we scan approximately 80,000 sheets of A4 every day we are very experienced in handling precious, ancient archives too.

It does not have to be standard paper either; we can scan microfiche, film, fine art canvas, transparency, and even blue prints. During some of our property archive contracts we have scanned ancient documents, some dating back to the 16th century, still with wax seals attached.

This enables us to electronically convert any paper archive, regardless of age, individual size, condition and binding obstacles into seamless and cohesive databases. This is done without altering the original documents or causing additional wear and tear (essential for rare and priceless archives).

We have the ability to colour scan any legal map (in millions of colours) up to and over the actual physical paper size of A0. All forms of Microfiche to PC Digitisation and conversions including Aperture Cards, Combination Fiche, 16mm and 35mm roll film can also be captured on site at our offices. sds Property provide systems and solutions for every stage of the document scanning/processing life cycle and utilise rigid engineering quality assurance mechanisms to implement and carry out the work.
