Microfilm – the ‘Lost Ark’ of Information
Over the past decades, millions of pieces of information have been locked up in microfilm storage. With equipment becoming old and unserviceable and and the microfilm itself beginning to degrade, this information is becoming lost – forever.
With a full range of Microfilm Scanning services available, Sterling are able to rescue this information before it is gone. We have the equipment, knowledge and facilities to quickly convert microfilm information into digital information, unlocking the knowledge from the past, making it available for the future.
Storing microfilm in a way that will preserve microfilm is becoming an expensive, combine this with the cost of ownership of microfilm readers and the training to go with them, this can sometimes be a prohibitive option. By converting microfilm today, the information will be available at the touch of a button to view, print and email.
Scanned images from microfilm seamlessly integrate into your existing electronic document management system. If you do not have an appropriate system, Sterling will assist you in acquiring a solution or can provide you with a hosted, access from anywhere solution.
By combining your microfilm requirements with other services such as scan on demand, it is possible to convert only what is required, when it is required. Sterling can manage the storage of the original microfilm and retrieve, scan and deliver frames as and when required, reducing the cost of conversion.
Ultimately, there is no reason for your microfilm archives to be lost in the past – simply integrate the information into your records management systems and processes.
