Surely imaging is the same as microfilm?
Not really, imaging is easier to use and does not require the chemical processes of microfilm. In addition, imaging can produce far better reproductions of the original documents. Most importantly, digital document images can be transported around an organization very quickly over a local or wide area network. Even the fax can be integrated into the system. Added to this is the enhanced security of limited access rights and date recording, available with optical storage systems.
