Consider microfilming and/or scanning of these vital records:

• Engineering drawings
• Legal documents
• Personnel files
• Medical records
• Etc.

Today’s trend is to use hierarchical storage management, which means information is stored on-line (magnetic storage) while it is active; near-line (typically optical) as it matures; and off-line (microfilm) for archival and active storage. This hybrid storage provides the structure and redundancy necessary for proper document management and security.

Your other option is to do nothing and hope you never lose your documents!

Please take time to look over the list of services we provide and allow American Micrographics the opportunity to provide a solution for your document security needs.

If you’ve been thinking there has to be a better way to manage paper records, you are right. Let American Micrographics show you how.

A digital document management system from American Micrographics lets you access any record, study it, copy it and re-file faster and more accurately than ever before. Now there is a simple way to convert large drawings and documents into more efficient, convenient digital files. American Micrographics scanners handle documents up to 40-inches wide and, with our special linking program, virtually unlimited length.

Digital files condense paper records more than microfilming, therfore, reducing an 18 inch storage tray to one (1) DVD. The digital files also provide for redundant backup copies that can be stored in seperate locations. For permanent archiving of records, mircrofilming is recommended.

Our digital service offers document and microfilming scanning and associated services of data entry, creation of folder files, cropping and resizing.

Converted documents are returned via FTP and/or CD/DVD disk ready to integrate into your existing document management system.

American Micrographics microfilming services offer many options including:  16mm and 35mm film, apeture cards, jackets, microfiche, duplication, indexing and retrieval.

By integrating the Adobe® PDF format into our file retrieval systems and using OCR and Catalog Indexing any scanned document with text can be found almost instantaneously and utilized. This technology allows a scanned document to be searched by relevant text or form number quickly and effectively.

American Micrographics has designed document management systems for engineering firms, government offices, banks, hospitals and all types of manufacturers. By working with experienced consultants who will help you analyze your individual needs we will develop a data retrieval system that is right for you.

Requirements for document retention can often mean that paper files must be kept even after digital conversion of microfilm. In association with our parent company C. H. Coakley we can offer storage to meet your most stringent requirements. Whether digital, paper or microfilm, we can solve your long term storage needs.

Network File Services

One of the major benefits of digital file management is easy access to data at any networked workstation with safe, secure and instant access to searchable PDFs throughout the network instead of long, laborious searches through paper files.
