What is document scanning?

Document scanning is a process that converts physical documents into digital formats, making it easier to store, manage, and distribute information. Here in the UK, where businesses and organisations often deal with a large volume of paperwork, bulk scanning has become increasingly important. Bulk scanning is designed to handle thousands of documents at once, streamlining the digitisation process and making it more efficient. This is particularly beneficial for sectors like healthcare, legal services, education and finance, where large archives of records need to be accessed quickly and securely. In addition, it is important to bear in mind that under UK GDPR legislation, there is now a legal obligation to hold documents for as long as they are required.

The advantages of bulk scanning are manifold. Firstly, it significantly reduces the need for physical storage space, which can be costly and cumbersome. Secondly, digital documents are easier to search through, edit, and share, thus improving workflow and collaboration within an organisation. Moreover, digital files are less susceptible to damage or loss compared to their physical counterparts, offering an added layer of security. Bulk scanning services often come with features like Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which makes the text within the scanned documents searchable and editable. This is invaluable for businesses that need to extract and analyse data from large sets of documents.
