Why Should I Convert Microfiche into Digital Files?

In today’s digital age, data storage for microfiche is obsolete. If you want to update your archive with today’s latest technology, scanning film into digital files is the next step.

Despite claims that microfiche has a shelf life of over 500 years, this media type can decay even when stored in climate-controlled environments. If you notice a vinegary smell, brittle texture or stickiness to your media types, you need to take action to preserve your files.

Converting microfiche to digital files can bring you valuable benefits including:

  • Increased Efficiency
  • More Physical Space
  • OCR Searchability
  • Improved Document Control
  • Increased Business Continuity
  • Universal Access

Archiving Your Records Into the Cloud

Archiving your records into the cloud is a must for all companies looking to protect and preserve sensitive data. Storing scanned data from microfiche can keep your business operating if film rolls are ever damaged.

We guarantee high quality digitization and give you access to your files in our secure Microsoft Azure Cloud. When it’s time to move your legacy microfiche into an electronic document management system (DMS), your scanned data can be imported and integrated into the DMS.

Your secure information repository can free up space and provide you with accurate indexes of files for you to retrieve at peak efficiency.
