The Right (Sized) Document Imaging Solution

Document imaging solutions come in all shapes and sizes.

Sometimes, a corporation needs an ongoing, system-wide revamp of the entire Enterprise Content Management function.

Other times, something decidedly more modest is in order. You want to clear out the back room, and there are thousands of papers back there, and you'd like to keep the information but lose the paper.

That is a golden opportunity to work with a document imaging services company. For a couple hundred dollars, you may be able to scan all that paper, keep the information on it, and then toss (or better yet recycle) the dead trees.

Now you have a wide open back room.

You can even rent a scanner, if you want to do the job yourself.

If you do choose to work with a third party document imaging company, be aware that they'll need those papers flat-edged and without staples in order to offer you the lowest rates on document imaging. Add-on services such as searchability will usually cost a bit more, too.

Regardless of what document imaging solution you choose, the important point is to realize that document imaging is not just something that big businesses do that costs millions of dollars.

There are all different products available and you can choose the one that fits with your goals and budget.
