Legacy Data Conversion
Microfilm & Microfiche Scanning
Convert legacy Microfilm and Microfiche into searchable digital images.
With the advances in technology, converting legacy data from Microfilm to a more serviceable format, such as TIF or PDF images, has become a requirement for any companies and government organizations. All Pro Solutions offers outsourced services to help convert and index this data to companies of all sizes.
The Challenge
Many companies and government organizations have large amounts of information stored on Microfilm Rolls or Microfiche Cards, which are not easily accessible or shared across the organization. Over time, the readers used to search these rolls are often damaged or unavailable, making access to the information nearly impossible.
The Solution
All Pro Solutions helps clients convert rolls of Microfilm and Microfiche jackets to images on CD, DVD, or online, indexing the Film or Fiche with keywords so users can quickly locate what they need. We convert 35 mm or 16 mm film, Blipped or Unclipped Microfiche, and both Jacketed or COM Fiche into TIF or PDF images. Not sure of your format? Contact us and we’ll convert a sample for you.
The Results
By providing immediate access to information once stored on Microfilm or Microfiche, organizations are better equipped to serve their end-users — records can be searched and retrieved in seconds without any specialized equipment. Digital data is also more readily available to help meet audit and compliance requirements, such as the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA).
Benefits of Images vs. Microfilm / Microfiche
Converted images give your team faster, shared access to records that were once locked away on film — while keeping every page safely backed up.
