Why Digitize Microfiche and Invoice Scanning

[seoxeee]

Current developments within technology mean that now may be the time to consider converting your old stock of microfiche into electronic files by having your archived microfiche files digitized. The decision on whether to use a specialist company that are familiar with microfiche scanning or undertake the project yourself depends on the volume of information to be converted.

If you only have a small amount of information then having a specialist microfiche scanning company is probably the best solution. Should cost not be an issue or you already have the expertise in house then purchasing a conversion machine Phần mềm hóa đơn điện tử be the solution.

There are a number of possible formats that a company could have their data stored under in the past. Whether on microfiche, 35mm microfilm or aperture cards it is important to recognise the format and standard of archive you are using as each will need a slightly different process to convert to an electronic file.

Other questions that need to be considered before converting your stock, is what DPI do you need the files to be produced in, 200 dpi is normally sufficient for basic PDF files but if you require data saved for any OCR processing then it should be at a higher 300 dpi. Basic machines are too simple to handle any bulk conversions properly, while the cost of purchasing a microfiche scanner for small-scale work is realistically prohibitive.

Equally should your archive be saved in multiple formats and you require COM fiche, large format, jacketed fiche or any of the other styles that have been developed over time, then conversion to PDF files will prove to be an expensive in house process.

At such a cost why bother converting old stock to an electronic format? The advent of the Internet means that the forwarding, sharing and exchanging of information in PDF format has become the industry norm these days.

Particularly with older companies there may be masses of information still in use that would benefit from being able to be transferred via the Internet. PDF files can also be encrypted for security measures, prevent alteration and take up even less storage space than your original microfiche and microfilm files.
