The Paperless Office

With document and computer data storage and retrieval being an ever increasing problem for businesses of all sizes to solve, legal requirements to hold for example Personnel Records for life and VAT records for 7 years, there is a practical solution.

Office technology has advanced dramatically over the last decade. Virtually everyone has access to a desktop PC and the benefits of Information Technology to every day working life are obvious and essential, yet 95% of all information used by companies is held on paper. Paper is bulky to store, time consuming to retrieve, cumbersome to distribute and can only be accessed by a single user. Many a time documents cannot be found as they have been misfiled or lost. Modern business demands instant access to information, information that can be shared, distributed and accessed by a multitude of users. These factors combined with the relentless pressure to reduce operating costs led to the development of Imaging Solutions.

Providing a quality solution will help in enhancing your business with both customers and suppliers alike, through improved staff and office space efficiency and organisation.

Imaging technology provides you with a solution that not only removes the problems associated with document storage and retrieval, but also provides your business with benefits and reduced overheads. A centralized document library, either departmental or company wide, holding vital company records accessible to those who need information, whether stand alone, local network or a web based solution.

The essence of Micro-Image Document Systems is to work in partnership with our clients, “Providing a Quality Solution and Service”.

The use of digital storage is a major player in the document storage market. Documents are scanned onto a hard drive and indexed before downloading onto CD-R, DVD hard-drive or the Web, with the advantages being the accessibility of records quickly, due to individual pages or files being indexed with their unique identifier

An incredibly fast retrieval program is integrated in one easy-to-use, affordable package which handles paper documents, computer based records and drawings, including CAD. Searches from databases can be password protected and interrogation may be conducted in a variety of ways. For example, if the user wishes to find files relating to one particular word, the full text retrieval facility will, in seconds, find all documents relating to that word, link them to all other relevant documents and images, highlighting the selected word on screen. This operation is completed without the need to launch other applications and images can be printed, faxed, e-mailed or copied and pasted into alternative applications.
