What are the benefits of having my documents/microfilm scanned to digital images?
Digital imaging results in many significant benefits to the end user community. A single 120GB drive will hold up to 2.4 million pages of information, or approximately the equivalent of 300 four-drawer file cabinets which consume over 3500’ square feet of space which can be freed up for more productive use. Drives can be replicated and backed up which avoids the risk and exposure of paper (and microfilm) documents. Retrieval is efficient and can be done from your workstation without the need to access or physically manage paper. Images do not degrade over time, in contrast to the paper hardcopy or microfilm record.
