No matter which solution you choose, images stored on our premises are housed in our SAS 70 Type II audited data center. For maximum protection we mirror scan images to provide an additional level of security. Each file is easily traceable for compliance with Sarbanes Oxley, HIPPA and other government regulations governing the privacy and protection of information.

If you store hard copies of important business records with Armstrong Archives, we can scan documents on demand as you need them. Once images are in electronic form, we provide Web access, or save them to a CD, DVD, or Flash drive.

Our team is available to handle all aspects of your document scanning, including picking up documents from your office, scanning and indexing them, and storing them in our highly secure data center for ready access. You’ll be able to retrieve images readily over the Web; we can then save them to CD or DVD for your use.

Rather than digging through mounds of paper when you need information, our document imaging service gives you anytime, anywhere access to your most critical business data. Whether you’re right here in Dallas-Fort Worth or on the other side of the globe, you’ll be able to radically improve response times and to reap the efficiencies of electronic records – without having to invest in a costly new infrastructure.

Document scanning can help your records management in a number of ways. Though computers are a mainstay at most companies, studies show 80 percent of all business information is still paper based. Armstrong Archives can help you bring new efficiency to your operations by converting hard-copy files to images with our document scanning services .

The great thing about electronic document management is that everyone has access to the document. Since more than one computer can access it, a person does not have to wait for someone to finish with the report or make a costly copy to be productive. In the medical office this means that as when the document is imaged, a doctor can examine the patient with it at the same time the office worker makes sure everything is filled out correctly. And since there is no more need to file the hard copy, that office has more room for things like medicinal and material storage, examination rooms, and even room for another doctor in the office. All of this and so much more is possible with simple electronic document management that we refer to as document scanning. Think about changing the way you do business today.

Medical offices are the first business that comes to mind when thinking about converting to electronic documents. Doctors have a lot of paperwork to manage. Patients need to be checked in which requires a lot of paper from the beginning. Then, every time a patient is seen, his or her chart needs to be updated, starting with vitals, which means more paper. Following a chart like this can be extremely difficult for the doctor. Imagine if a doctor committed an error simply because the hard copy chart had something wrong or your doctor had looked at the wrong page, or an assistant pulled the wrong chart completely! Document scanning can make this a thing of the past.

The benefits of document scanning and imaging are incredible, and can completely change the way your business is run. It does not matter how big your business is or in which industry you work. Businesses can benefit from making the change from paper documents to utilizing document scanning. There are times when scanning documents is cost efficient, but other times when the cost outweighs the benefits. Armstrong Archives can help you make that determination.

Scanning Benefits for Business

Document scanning ensures businesses remain HIPAA compliant, as scanned files ensure your customers’ confidential information is backed-up, and safe from becoming lost or stolen. Paper records are more challenging to manage and can be misplaced, while document scanning software provides an easy, digitized means of record keeping that increases the security of your documents.

Document scanning frees up time for your employees, allowing them to attend to productive business duties, rather than spending countless hours searching for documents. When documents are scanned, these electronic files can be obtained immediately and if required, shared or distributed both internally and externally. Document scanning offers a convenient solution for viewing, printing, and organizing.

Simply filing old documents away when no longer needed does not necessarily provide your company and customers with the security needed. Filing paper in-house often leads to disorganization, which can lead to major problems for businesses. Papers that should be secure but instead land in the trash are open to public access. Data within incorrectly stored files is at risk. This data could be misplaced, lost due to physical damage (fire, flood), or missed due to fraudulent activity. Any of these scenarios spell trouble for your business. Document scanning and storage provides reliable security and easy access.

Often, customers need to retrieve their records on short notice; document scanning allows us to retrieve any file for you in a matter of seconds! No more waiting for someone to go to the file room and sort through mounds of documents and files. Document scanning provides businesses instant access to the data they require for increased productivity and customer service. It’s truly a win-win situation for both your company and your customers.
