Microfilm & Microfiche Scanning

Microfilm and microfiche are two types of microform which were once the very best option for archiving vast amounts of essential data enabling businesses at the time to reduce their need for extensive paper archives. As the digital world continues to grow at an exponential rate, companies must be able to operate with complete access to their entire data sets.

Of course, with the right equipment, it is still possible to retrieve and read microform images, but this comes at a cost. It is an incredibly time-consuming process, and sending a staff member to the archive to search for, locate and load up the reader adds up to crippling amounts of wasted hours year after year. Also, microformats are incredibly vulnerable to degradation through humidity, water and fire damage. The irretrievable loss of your vital business data is often the only outcome.

Our clients are increasingly choosing microfilm and microfiche conversion services to digitally transform their microform archives. Where the original is of good enough quality, microform scanning allows all of your information to be digitally searchable, making regulatory compliance easier to adhere to. Do you know exactly what personally identifiable information you hold in your millions of images? If your archive of microfilm or fiche is full of old employee or customer information for example, have you considered your compliance position with the GDPR?

We can capture and transform each microform image into any format of your choice through our microform scanning services. Where there is readable text, we can apply our microfiche conversion services and advanced OCR technology to make your film images fully text searchable – instantly unlocking the power of your valuable data currently hidden away in old archives. Whatever your business need, our experience in scanning microfilm and microfiche images over the last 18 years means we can expertly guide you through your digital transformation project.
