One thing that strikes the casual or not-so-casual observer about today's demand for document imaging is the sheer humongous size of the projects being undertaken. Google is scanning books by the millions (with a cool scanner machine, too!). Obama wants all medical records electronic.
The massive size of these projects makes discount document scanning appealing.
Discount document imaging, price-wise, usually comes in at about 3 cents per page. Non-discount document imaging, you're looking more in the range of 8-15 cents per page, depending.
Discount document imaging is all about securing that giant project, and then blasting through it with incredible speed. Document imaging service providers who master this art-will be raking in the revenues over the next five years.
One thing to think about, from the client side, is the quality of the images being produced, especially with respect to how they can or cannot be manipulated after the fact.
Very low resolution scanned documents, or documents saved in file formats not in wide use, are going to cost you money in the long-run if you need to do anything else with them other than the simplest store and back-up.
