“After evaluating the product with our records, we determined that Digital ReeL was the right solution. It was the most affordable option we found that met our requirements.”

OVERVIEW
Jackson Local Schools, Ohio had archived its student and employment records on microfilm and microfiche. Searching for records on microfilm was a slow and cumbersome process and when a microfilm reader broke, the school had to make a decision: invest their limited dollars in replacing the reader printer or invest in a microfilm scanning solution.
After researching a few alternatives, Jackson Local Schools selected BMI Imaging’s Digital ReeL because it was affordable and easy-to-implement. Digital ReeL’s software application includes a unique adjustable grayscale feature that enables Jackson users to optimize the quality of difficult-to-read records. In addition, Digital ReeL’s redaction feature enables workers to block out sensitive information prior to sending a school or employment record to those requesting the information.
