Back scanning is the process of converting a vast collection of paper documents into digital format, typically involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of documents.
Companies opt for back scanning services when their paper storage boxes have become widespread across various departments and offsite locations. The primary reasons for undertaking back scanning include:
- Escalating costs associated with offsite storage due to the increasing number of storage boxes.
- Tedious and complex document retrieval process.
- A desire to modernise practices by moving away from paper storage.
- Challenges encountered in sharing paper documents throughout the entire company.
- Preparing for the implementation of an electronic document management (EDM) system by digitising documents beforehand.
- Liberating valuable and expensive office space that is occupied by paper storage.
- Mitigating risks such as theft, fire, and flood damage.
- A need to meet remote working requirements which are difficult or impossible using paper filing.
