California Document Scanning Company, BMI Imaging, Offers New, Affordable Conversion Service for Paper Records in Disrepair
Pre-scanning document preparation innovations reduce up front labor, offering lower prices to clients with restricted budgets; damaged, messy and fragile documents converted to high quality digital images
Sunnyvale, California – January 27, 2016 – BMI Imaging Systems, a leading provider of California document conversion services and document management solutions, announced that it has dramatically reduced its cost of document preparation labor per box without sacrificing document scanning accuracy or quality.
Will Whitney, Operations, states, “Doc removal, staple pulling, photocopying folders, taping up smaller pages are all examples of tasks that we’ve been looking to eliminate or streamline in order to make scanning projects with messy documents more affordable. With our recent equipment and process workflow upgrades, we are now able to offer more affordable document scanning services to clients with challenging document preparation work. Our customers are benefiting from both lower prices and higher quality images.”
Many hours can be required to prepare documents for scanning, particularly records in physical disrepair. This physical labor requirement translates to higher project prices, and clients would often not have the budget to go forward with those prep-heavy projects. Whitney states, “Reducing doc prep labor costs was necessary to meet budget requirements for an entire class of project initiatives. New OPEX equipment combined with uniquely developed BMI workflow processes allows us to combine doc prep and scan into one step, dramatically reducing our doc prep time and making it easier to predict labor time for each project.”
In the past, document preparation time was tedious and costly, taking BMI nearly two hours for every 45 minutes of scanning. Today, BMI is in a much better position to help clients convert messy and damaged documents at a lower price. Just as importantly, the newer scanners are capable of producing higher digital image quality than ever before.
