All industries, including the financial services industry, are embracing document imaging as the future. However, many businesses fail in their document imaging initiatives because they do not have well-defined plans in place to guide them through the process. In this article, we will share our best practises for completing a successful document imaging job, which we have gained from years of expertise.
Deliberate on the kind of document to be created
and the conversion requirements
Ensure that the team is aware of the kind of
document that will be converted as well as the complete conversion requirements
for your document collection before beginning your document imaging project.
Suppose you decide to digitise all of your paper documents, or just part of
them, would you convert them to an electronic format? It is possible that those
working in the medical sector would have to preserve paper copies of the
transformed papers before they may scan them since data collection rules are
stringent in this area. For document storage, client-server systems are
becoming more common.
Key
Obstacles to Overcoming
It is the next stage in the process to identify
the most significant problems you will encounter throughout your document
imaging project and then develop solutions for those challenges. Examples
include the need to securely keep client data from paper files, which is a
significant issue for many businesses. In this process, make sure you
collaborate with a document imaging specialist who can help you identify
possible answers to your specific business problems.
Examine
the Transition Strategy
Details on which objects must be maintained
until a specified date of destruction should be included in your transition
strategy. Identification of these papers, as well as ensuring that they are
properly indexed for subsequent retrieval, should be a part of the planning
process.
Document
Versions
Make an effort to discover older versions of
documents that are no longer needed while planning your document imaging
project. Verify that you are not storing duplicate copies of the same document
in your system by cross-referencing the data included within the paper
documents to evaluate if the information is of any value.
