A Complete Texas Microfilm Services Solution

Digital ReeL is a microfilm services solution that includes a software application. BMI Imaging performs the microfilm services (the microfilm-to-digital scanning process) at one of our secure microfilm services facilities. We then make the digital microfilm rolls easily retrievable from the Digital ReeL software interface. The Digital ReeL interface is a digital representation of a physical reader printer, making it easy for users to scroll through the virtual, digital microfilm rolls. Ideal for Texas companies and Texas state and local governments, the Digital ReeL microfilm services solution is the most cost-effective and practical microfilm services solution on the market.

Digital ReeL is Unique from Other Microfilm Services on the Market

BMI has been in the microfilm services solution business for 50 years. This experience has led to the creation of the Digital ReeL microfilm services solution. We designed this microfilm services solution with three key aspects in mind: affordability, microfilm conversion accuracy and image quality. Because we convert the entire microfilm roll during the microfilm services conversion step, no images are lost during the microfilm conversion process, ensuring the accurate conversion of your records (other microfilm services result in lost images because they dissociate each image from the microfilm roll; even 99% accuracy can result in hundreds-to-thousands of lost records). Because our microfilm services converts the entire microfilm roll rather than individual images, our microfilm service avoids the costly individual indexing step - thus, we can offer the Digital ReeL microfilm service at half the expense of other microfilm services offerings.  Finally, we include an adjustable grayscale feature that enables users to adjust the contrast and brightness of each digital image; Digital ReeL enables tough-to-read images (even those that were illegible on the physical microfilm roll) to be optimized and read.

Available As Installable Software or as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

The Digital ReeL microfilm service is available as an onsite application or as a hosted service. In both cases, BMI performs the microfilm services step. Your organization chooses how you want to access your digital microfilm rolls.

The first option involves the outright purchase Digital ReeL. Your IT department is responsible for storing, protecting and managing your digital microfilm roll archive and the Digital ReeL workstation clients from which your users will access the digital records.

The second option makes the Digital ReeL Texas microfilm services offering available as a hosted, SaaS offering. After BMI digitally converts microfilm rolls during the microfilm services step, BMI Imaging hosts and stores your digital microfilm roll records at our secure data center. You avoid all IT hassles and simply access your records from the Internet using the Digital ReeL web interface.
