Digitally scanned microfilm rolls, microfiche and aperture card records are stored at BMI’s secure data center; users access records from Digital ReeL’s Web Client Interface

Sacramento, California – November 14, 2009 – BMI Imaging Systems, a leading provider of document conversion, microfiche scanning and document management solutions, today announced that the Digital ReeL Hosting Service is generally available to customers nationwide.

Currently used by over 100 government agencies and private companies, Digital ReeL is a microfilm and microfiche conversion process that includes an easy-to-use software application that replicates the look of a reader printer. Users can access their digital microfilm rolls and microfiche cards from almost any computer with a standard Internet browser.

Discontinued reader printers, eroding microfilm quality and slow record retrieval are just some of the reasons organizations continue to seek cost effective microfilm scanning solutions. Avoiding the loss of documents and enhancing the quality of the entire archive during the microfilm conversion process are critical to the success of any microfilm and microfiche scanning project.

Customers can now combine Digital ReeL’s conversion accuracy and image quality benefits with the advantages of a document hosting solution. Because all images are stored at BMI’s California microfilm scanning and hosting facility, deployment is faster and no IT infrastructure investment is required to complete the microfilm conversion project. Organizations avoid the upfront server, storage and IT administrative costs with a low, monthly subscription-based pricing model.
