Based in Colorado, Mountain States Imaging, LLC provides first-rate document scanning, document conversion and document management services. MSI’s capabilities include indexing and online document hosting, as well as database integration with files kept as paper, microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards. Since 1986, they have completed countless document management projects involving prepping, scanning, indexing, storage and retrieval.
The Problem
The time and energy it took MSI employees to complete projects was often problematic and undesirable. “Most processes involved multiple software suites and manual processes. Actual image processing and tracking was done via various spreadsheets and flat files,” said Kenneth Kopicky, Senior IT Analyst. “Dispersed files on dispersed networks became difficult to manage.” Manual indexing and time spent fixing or rescanning skewed, rotated or blank pages was time consuming, and producing an acceptable final image often required multiple software packages and tools. This company-wide frustration proved to be ultimately inefficient, leading Mountain States Imaging to search for a new and improved system.
