Digitization

Your archive accessible anywhere at any time? Youston Group.

 

Need regular access to your archive? Let us digitize your documents and enjoy the convenience of a digital archive. With online accessibility at any time of the day, physical archive space in your offices is a thing of the past.

Scan factory

With years of expertise and high-end equipment, digitizing, scanning and indexing is at the core of our business. Accounting files, invoices, incoming post, medical records … Even entire books are not beyond our limits. Each type of file is provided in top quality and in the file format you require.

Scanning process

Our experienced document preparation & digitization operators are trained to handle files with care and confidentiality. First, they take care of the grunt work such as removing staples, paper clips, post-its etc. Next, they glue them to separate scannable pages to ensure a smooth scan.

All documents get scanned and lastly your files get indexed automatically, manually or using a combination of both. While some documents might require manual indexing (such as records containing hardly legible handwriting), most documents get indexed with AI and sophisticated recognition technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR), Optical Mark Recognition (OMR), and barcode recognition.

Once scanned and indexed, the documents (and their metadata) get delivered to you in your chosen format, e.g., PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, JPEG, XML, CSV, etc. Ready for import into your existing systems.
