Bureau scanning services

Although the supply of document scanning solutions is our primary business, Scanning Technologies was originally setup to provide document/drawing scanning services for clients for clients throughout Scotland.

In the early days of scanning, we found that there were very few effective scanning tools available.  They were either horrendously complex or, we felt, excessively expensive (or both!).  As a consequence, we found ourselves developing our own software.  It was following on from this work, that some of our early clients started to ask if we would consider selling our newly developed software.

We still maintain a small bureau scanning service working out of the North of Scotland which continues to act as a test-bed for new development work.  Of greater importance, we consider that we do not find ourselves tied to attempting to sell a single solution .... If a prospective client has a possible scanning requirement, we can offer a solutions that will be based on their  particular circumstances.  Backlog scanning >>>

Consultancy services

Drawing on our experience of operating a scanning bureau since the mid-1990´s, and coupled with our expertise gained in developing much of our own software in this time, and working extensively with some of the foremost suppliers of document / drawing scanning systems, we are often asked to perform a little lateral thinking.

Some areas where we can help are:

• Bespoke system design & database development.  Scanning Technologies are able to integrate scanning functionality into many pre-existing systems and database solutions.
• System installation, configuration & commissioning.  With an extensive technical background, Scanning Technologies carry out most of it's own System Installations. Working closely with clients, we are able to advise throughout the configuration process and provide a high level of support after the system has been commissioned.
• Document management reviews.  With many years experience within the document / drawing scanning marketplace, Scanning Technologies are ideally placed to assist organisations in choosing a suitable solution to allow for the documents to be managed more effectively.
• Image conversion.  A challenge is rarely refused. We have many tools / contacts that can assist in providing bulk conversion services to prospective clients. Bulk migration of historical data to Adobe Acrobat PDF file format regularly performed.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR).  A variety of OCR outputs can be generated ranging from Word / Excel formats, simple text and Adobe Acrobat.
• Canofile / ScanFile conversion.  There are many original (non-PC based) Canofile systems that are now coming to the end of their useful lives. Scanning Technologies have extensive experience in converting the Canofile folder data into modern database formats and extracting the images onto CD-ROM. Our ImageBrowser product is an ideal tool for prospective clients requiring to migrate their scanning requirements to the PC platform.
• Training.  Full user training for a wide variety of products can be provided either at the client site or at a dedicated training centre.
