Digitizing records correctly isn't as easy as it sounds. It requires not only special equipment but also a staff trained on the best practices of indexing and metadata tagging. If you want the job done right, outsourcing to a vendor is your best bet.

Here’s the small business benefits for digitization outsourcing:

USE EXPERTS, GET EXPERT RESULTS

Digital records are easier to search and faster to find but that’s only true if they have been indexed and tagged accurately using metadata. To ensure every scanned record has the correct metadata, you need a knowledgeable digitization specialist dedicated to meticulous detail.

AVOID A CAPITAL INVESTMENT

Not all scanners are built the same. If you want high-definition scans of your most valuable assets, there are very few options outside of spending a lot of money and time. Purchasing professional-grade scanning equipment and software is expensive. Imaging documents is also a time-consuming task that draws your resources away from their core work. Outsourcing makes digitization faster and more economical.

PREVENT THEFT, LOSS AND PRIVACY BREACH

Any time a team is digitizing in-house, with multiple people handling documents and moving between locations, there’s always the chance of documents being stolen, lost or breached. An outsourced solution mitigates sensitive document risks through a single, secure chain of custody.

ENSURE INFORMATION GOVERNANCE AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

It’s difficult for in-house teams to keep up with changing retention, content classification, and privacy laws. Outsourcing can add the specialized expertise you need to keep your governance policies and practices in bounds and avoid costly mistakes.

EVOLVE TO A DIGITAL WORKFLOW

Incorporating digitization into your organization means changing workflows and processes. An experienced vendor offers advice on where to start and how to automate for productivity gains. They may also help your team understand what your company's digitization needs are, which will help in selecting a digital workflow solution down the line.

RIGHT-SIZE YOUR PROJECT

Digitization isn’t an all or nothing endeavor. There are different levels for different digitization projects. Choose a vendor that can scale the scope of digitization to your small business needs and unique workflows.
