Go Paperless, Go Digital:
Make the shift from paper to digital effortlessly with our comprehensive Hard Copy Processing services.

Our end-to-end Hard Copy Processing services include scanning hard copy material into electronic files that are objectively coded with relevant metadata.

What is Hard Copy Processing?

Hard Copy Processing refers to converting physical documents, also known as hard copies, into electronic or digital formats. This process involves scanning paper documents using specialised equipment and software to create digital replicas of the original files.

During Hard Copy Processing, the scanned documents are often saved in various electronic formats such as PDF, JPEG, or Tiff. Additionally, relevant metadata, such as document titles, dates, or tags, can be added to make the digital files easily searchable and organised.
