Microfiche scanning service converts microfiche and microfilm records to digital images; digital records stored at BMI’s secure data center and accessed by users over the Internet with the Digital ReeL Web Client Interface
Sacramento, California – December 5, 2012 – BMI Imaging Systems, a leading provider of microfiche scanning services, microfilm conversion and document management solutions, has announced the nationwide availability of the Digital ReeL Cloud Option.
Dave Peterson, Dave Peterson, Kitsap County Clerk (Washington) states, “Any vendor can provide digital microfilm scanning services. What separated BMI was the inclusion of hosted access to our records online through Digital ReeL. For poor quality and even illegible records, we’re able to use Digital ReeL to adjust the quality of these images prior to sharing them with the Court or citizens.”
Eroding microfiche/microfilm quality, discontinued reader printers and difficult record retrieval are just a few of the reasons organizations continue to search for easy, cost effective microfiche scanning and microfilm conversion solutions.
Digital ReeL is a complete microfiche scanning solution leveraged by government agencies and public companies. BMI completes the microfiche scanning and microfilm conversion service at one of its California facilities. Researchers such as employees, citizens and customers access digital records using an application viewer that resembles a reader printer.
The Digital ReeL Cloud Option enables clients to combine a microfiche scanning and microfilm conversion service with the advantages of a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering. Once BMI completes the microfiche scanning service, the digital microfiche and microfilm records are stored at BMI’s datacenter. Clients experience the benefits associated with SaaS such as faster deployment, no IT infrastructure required and the avoidance of upfront IT expenditures such as servers, storage and IT administrative time.
Users access their digital microfiche and microfilm records over the Internet, logging into the Digital ReeL Web Client. The easy-to-use viewer replicates the look of a reader printer.
