Uplift and Delivery

Using our own transport we will arrange to uplift your documents on a pre-arranged time and date, and can supply crates for transit if required. Your material is insured whilst in transit and in our care. An internal Redcare Alarm System and external C.C.T.V protect our premises at all times. Whilst your documents are in our possession, you may contact us at any time to request either a faxed copy of a document, scanned copy or indeed the original returned.

Document Preparation

All material supplied for scanning; documents, drawings or books, will be prepared as necessary, by removal from folders, destapling etc. If required the documents can be re-filed into their original folders/binders and returned to the client. Any original folders, boxes or bindings can also be returned where requested. Books can be restored and rebound where necessary using a local Binding company.

Secure Storage of Discs

For complete piece of mind and for disaster recovery purposes we prefer to store client's Master disks in our own fireproof safe. Upon request a copy of any disk stored can be produced and supplied immediately.

No additional charge is levied for this service.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

The process of converting an image of text into computer-editable and searchable text. The text in a "tiff" image is not editable: the letters are made of tiny dots (pixels) that together form a picture of text. During OCR, the software analyses an image and converts the pictures of the characters to editable text based on the patterns of the pixels in the image. After OCR, you can then export the converted text and use it with a variety of word-processing, page layout and spreadsheet applications.

Destruction of Scanned Documents

Upon delivery of your disks, your material will be automatically stored within our secure facility for an agreed period of time, after which we will then seek written consent to have your documents securely destroyed by firstly shredding and then pulping by a specialist paper recycling company. Certificates of destruction will be supplied where requested.
