What is Document Imaging and Scanning?
Document imaging and / or scanning refers to the process of making a digital photocopy from paper-based documents. The only difference between a traditional paper photocopy and an image is the way it is stored. Images are stored on digital media such as hard drives, CDs, DVD, etc. Photocopies are stored on paper. For litigation support purposes, the terms “imaging” and “scanning” mean the same thing, and these terms can be used interchangeably.
