Microfiche Scanning Services

BMI Imaging has been in the microfiche scanning business for over 50 years. We know that price, microfiche scanning accuracy and image quality are top of mind with most of our clients. As a result, we have developed Digital ReeL – a microfiche scanning service that includes a software application for viewing digital microfiche images. With customers nationwide (read our case studies), Digital ReeL is the microfiche scanning service you’ve been looking for.

Davidson County, Tennessee Customer Interview


BMI Imaging completes the microfiche scanning service for your organization at one of our Northern California production facilities (on-site microfiche scanning services are also available).

After your microfiche scanning service is complete, BMI provides your organization with the Digital ReeL software application. Users require almost no training because the interface is a digital representation of a physical reader printer. Users can easily view the entire digital microfiche created by the microfiche scanning service just as they would have with a physical microfiche.

On Premise and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Options Available

The Digital ReeL microfiche scanning service is available as a SaaS solution or as a traditional on premise solution. BMI Imaging performs the microfiche scanning service for your organization in both cases. The difference is how your organization wants to manage and access your digital microfiche records.

On Premise: One option is to purchase the Digital ReeL microfiche scanning solution outright as a standard, customer-installed application. Your IT department will handle the storage and management of your digital microfiche images. Users will access digital microfiche records from the Digital ReeL workstation client or from the Digital ReeL web interface.

SaaS, Hosted: The second option takes advantage of a newer SaaS model that has developed across the IT industry. After the microfiche scanning service is completed by BMI, we will store and manage your digital microfiche records at our secure data center. If your organization seeks to avoid IT hassles and the risk that you’ll lose your digital images or suffer downtime, combining BMI’s document hosting with the Digital ReeL microfiche scanning service makes the most sense.

A Unique Microfiche Scanning Service

Digital ReeL is unique because it is not just a microfiche scanning service – it is a complete solution that includes the software viewer. The Digital ReeL microfiche scanning solution is unique for the following reasons:

  • Affordability: 50% less than other microfiche scanning services on the market. 
  • Digital Microfiche Image Quality: During the microfiche scanning service process, every microfiche is scanned into an adjustable grayscale format. This enables users to fine tune the quality of each image; even the most difficult-to-read images can be improved with Digital ReeL.
  • Microfiche Scanning Service Accuracy: BMI scans the entire microfiche so that you will have a visually obvious way to confirm that no images have been lost during the microfiche scanning service.
