What is Document Imaging?
 
Document imaging is the process of capturing information from paper, photographs, faxes or handwritten notes. The captured information is then scanned and stored digitally on a computer system which enables you to quickly retrieve documents with only a few keystrokes. The digital images are usually stored on CD-ROMs which can hold approximately 10,000-12,000 pages of information. Rather than carrying multiple boxes of documents, you can easily transport large amounts of information stored on CD-ROMs or via the Web.
 
What is Archiving?
 
Archiving is the process of converting important paper documents which are normally kept in a storage warehouse and used mainly for reference. Old tax returns, closed legal documents and medical records are good candidates for archiving. The documents will be scanned and stored on CD-ROMs which will reduce the need for expensive storage space while providing high-speed efficient access to those documents. InfoStore is the only Imaging Company in the Tri-State area that provides Imaging and Archiving at our own facilities.
 
As an Application Service Provider, what do we do?
 
InfoStore Online provides all the benefits of document imaging, without requiring dedicated employees and capital resources for the capture of documents. The documents are picked up at your office, prepared, scanned and indexed at our NJ location. We then deliver the imaged documents on media of your choice (CD, Corporate Network, Internet) to your office.
 
What kinds of documents can we image?
 
Any document that is frequently referred to should be imaged. Organizations typically want documents such as accounting records, customer related files, medical records, proposals, loan documents, signature cards, engineering drawings, or computer generated reports. Just about any type of document can be stored, paper or any other type.
 
How are the indexes entered?
 
The method of indexing is determined through discussions with each of our clients. Various methods include individually keying in each indexing field, using double verifying for greater accuracy, using bar codes, or using existing computer databases to electronically populate the indexes using a unique identifying field.
 
Is confidentiality an issue?
 
Our clients include government entities, medical organizations, financial institutions and public utility companies, just to name a few. Each member of the InfoStore Online team understands the importance of confidentiality and has entered into a nondisclosure agreement.

How can we use your service if we already have imaging software?
 
The imaging software used by the Source Imaging team can export to many of the established imaging software systems. Even if your system is not one of those identified systems, we can typically work with you to set up a method to support your software.
 
Is the retrieval software available from InfoStore web enabled?
 
Yes, clients can choose to implement web-based or desktop-based retrieval, or a combination of these.
 
Can previously imaged documents be included in the InfoStore solution?
 
Often previously imaged documents can be converted to the newly installed iBIC Viewer, however, this is an area that requires a review of existing systems to determine how the conversion can be achieved. We can support most standards based formats, but most of our clients use CCIT Group IV MultiPage Tiffs, PDF, and JPEG.
