Minnesota-based National Business Systems (NBS) is providing customers with a powerful way to drive process efficiencies and cost savings by converting old, unreliable rolls of microfilm into new, easy-to-manage, digital images.

There are many reasons that organizations may outsource to a Microfilm Scanning Service. Businesses and organizations established prior to digital archiving systems have one thing in common – a vast archive of microfilm. In order to help these organizations convert their microform libraries into a digital format that can be easily indexed, stored and retrieved via computers and other devices, microfilm scanning services were created.

“Outsourcing To A Microfilm Scanning Service Is A Cost Effective Move For Most Companies”


Advantages of Outsourcing Microfilm Scanning Service
Microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards were once considered the most efficient method of archiving documents. With the ability to store documents up to 25 times smaller than the original, it was possible to index and store entire libraries in a fraction of the space required for the original documents.

As digital image formats emerged, microfilm became obsolete. A microfilm scanning service has the ability to scan an entire microfilm library and store it in a device that can fit in the palm of a hand.

Microfilm scanning services convert microfilm using specialized technologies to create a variety of desired image formats. Digitally optimizing the images, artifacts may be
removed and readability enhanced. National Business Systems specializes in digital data conversion and utilizes effective content management systems to assist in indexing the images based on key data elements. Users are able to quickly search and retrieve images and data directly from desktop computers and other devices, using web browsers or other proprietary software.

Using a microfilm scanning service to digitize your microfilm archive allows organizations to enhance their operations and workflow. With efficient, cost effective retrieval, storage, backup and recovery - reduced overhead costs is just one of the many benefits gained from modernizing a microfilm library.

Working with an experienced, knowledgeable and professional microfilm scanning service will ensure that your organization’s conversion from old, unreliable microfilm to a new easy-to- access digital format will be efficient, effective and presentable.
