Microfilm was one of the first breakthroughs in document management technology. When it was introduced and even today many organisations with huge volumes of paper-based data availed of a microfilm solution to alleviate their document management problems.

Like many forerunners of new technology however, Microfilm has many faults. It is associated with slow, bulky and expensive retrieval equipment and inefficiency in terms of user capability.

DigiScan can capture the data contained on Microfilm Roll (both 16mm and 35mm), Microfiche Jackets or Aperture Cards and convert it to digital format, thereby reintroducing it to multiple users and enabling its swift retrieval.

Once DigiScan have digitised and published this data to CD-ROM it is indexed to the original formula. Each CD comes with stand-alone software enabling you to retrieve, view and share via e-mail or fax with a few keyboard strokes. Equally, DigiScan can incorporate the captured data to your existing document management software package.

Back-up copies of each CD for guaranteed security and multiple access are available free of charge.

"We had over 35,000 Aperture Cards with one manual reader and no plotting capabilities. DigiScan scanned the 35,000 cards onto our network and developed a CD database system for our efficient archiving. Now we can retrieve, plot, e-mail or edit any image or document in seconds."
