What Our Clients Say About BMI
San Luis Obispo County Assessor, CA
“I have been with San Luis Obispo County for over 30 years. BMI Imaging is an A+ vendor and the best one I have worked with. The team was near instant in their responsiveness, they collaborated with us throughout the entire process and were able to offer custom options unique to our environment.”
— Charron Sparks, Assistant Assessor
Florida Atlantic University, FL
“BMI has been a trusted partner across multiple projects, and this recent migration from Laserfiche to Digital ReeL was no exception. The process was smooth and efficient — their team set up a secure transfer, converted over 1.2 million records, and delivered everything faster than expected. The biggest impact for us has been consolidating multiple systems into one place, making it much easier to find and manage archived records. Overall, it’s been a great experience working with BMI.”
— Richard Thompson, Senior Associate Registrar of Information Technology
Liberty Wire Johnstown
“We are very pleased with the aperture card scanning that BMI has been doing for us. We are a wire mill that has been in business for over 100 years and we have close to 12,000 aperture cards that they have been working on for us, in batches of 1,000 cards at a time. The group is very friendly and have exceptional attention to detail, as well as a quick turnaround.”
— John Headrick, Electrical Maintenance Manager
City of Gilroy, CA
“BMI helped us digitize roughly 270 boxes of planning, building, and fire prevention files, moving a heavily paper-based operation into a much more accessible digital workflow. Communication was consistent, timelines were met — even under year-end pressure — and the team worked closely with us to figure out the best way to organize and index complex records. The result has been cleaner offices, faster public record access, and far less manual searching for our staff.”
— Monica Maganda, Management Assistant
San Francisco County Superior Court, CA
“If you ever saw the pile of paperwork just one court case can produce … I live in a record-keeping nightmare. We have been working with BMI for over 25 years. The company has consistently delivered on time with the kind of efficiency, quality and accuracy I couldn’t live without.”
— Ron Ho, Computer Systems Director
Hood County Sheriff, TX
“BMI helped us digitize thousands of prison record microfiche files, and the process was far easier than we expected. From the beginning, their team took the time to explain everything clearly and provided samples so we could make informed decisions about image quality. Communication was consistent throughout, and the final files are significantly more readable than our previous process. The improved access supports critical background check requests and has freed up valuable storage space in our office.”
— Jodie McGuire, Support Services Manager
Pekin Life Insurance Company
“BMI’s Digital ReeL provided us with a feasible approach to converting Microfilm images as old as 1965 into easy-to-access digital images. The BMI team was extremely flexible and responsive throughout the entire project. We are now able to quickly and easily remotely access all images via a simple-to-use web-based interface, significantly improving our employee experience, operational efficiency, and turnaround time.”
— Carissa Isbell, Asst. Vice President – Claims (Life)
Napa County Library, CA
“In the past, our newspaper microfilm archive was only available at our physical location. Since January (2016), we’ve averaged 45,000+ image requests per month and users are from all over the world.”
— Anthony Halstead, Assistant Director of Library Services & Community Outreach
