The sds Asbuilt Group is wholly confident that you will find our document digitisation and archiving second to none, in terms of quality, speed and professionalism. However, some of you might wish to move all or part of your document digitisation and archiving operations in-house. There are a variety of reasons why corporate companies consider do-it-yourself scanning, such as strategy, document confidentiality, or because sds Property has already converted your back-file archive, and the company wishes to handle the on-going daily archive itself in the future.

We offer comprehensive analysis of your current document handling systems and help you to devise suitable new systems and workflows to achieve maximum efficiency for your in-house system, which seamlessly integrates with your manual systems.

This also enables us to develop a comprehensive software specification, which might be satisfied by off-the-shelf products, a bespoke system or a combination of the two. It will also comply with industry standards. For example, it is important that your system be capable of handling Group IV TIFF files and PDF files because these tend to be the standard file format used by the great majority of document management systems.

The software specification then permits us to specify appropriate hardware. Typically, this comprises at least one workstation, a suitable industrial quality scanner that can be addressed by the chosen OCR software, plus suitable primary and back-up storage devices.

Whether the sds Asbuilt Group is the outsource supplier of your document digitisation and archiving services, or the facilitator and support organisation for your in-house effort, we know that you will be delighted with the efficiency of the overall system and the benefits that it will bring to your organisation.
