Our Process

The team at Shekinah Scan will swing by to pick your microfilms and/or microfiche. If you need them boxed up or organized, we can happily assist. Next, we bring them over to our scanner and begin the converting process. Next, we run our OCR (optical character recognition) software so that you can find your images effortlessly with a simple keyword search. Finally, we index to a convertible PDF, TIFF, or any other file format you would prefer. This is ideal for personnel records, medical records, payroll, etc.

Benefits of Converting

Digitizing microfiche and microfilm archives significantly improves accessibility and efficiency. Retrieving information from microfiche or microfilm can be a time-consuming and cumbersome process, often requiring specialized equipment and skilled operators. Digitization eliminates these hurdles by converting the tiny, often illegible images into high-quality digital files. This means that your valuable historical records, research materials, or vital documents can be accessed instantly with a few clicks, making data retrieval faster, more convenient, and user-friendly.

Digital archives are inherently more secure and resilient than their analog counterparts. Microfiche and microfilm are susceptible to physical deterioration, damage, or loss due to mishandling, environmental factors, or disasters. Once converted into digital formats, these documents are protected from physical harm and can be easily backed up and replicated for disaster recovery purposes. This not only safeguards your valuable historical or business-critical data but also ensures its long-term preservation for future generations. In an era where data security and accessibility are paramount, microfiche and microfilm scanning and digitization represent a prudent investment in the future of your information management.

As technology continues to advance, the cost of maintaining and servicing microfiche and microfilm readers and equipment becomes increasingly prohibitive. By transitioning to digital formats, organizations can reduce operational costs associated with maintaining aging equipment, purchasing specialized consumables, and training staff on legacy systems. This cost-efficiency, coupled with the numerous advantages of digital archives, underscores the compelling case for investing in microfiche and microfilm scanning services as a forward-thinking strategy for document management and preservation in the digital age.

There are countless benefits to utilizing our microfiche & microfilm scanning services. The most notable benefits include improvements over document control, more space, easier searchability for your images, saves you money, allows for increased efficiency, and offers you security and peace of mind. Regardless of your reason for making the switch, we are confident you will be nothing less than satisfied with our services.
