In today's digital environment, large volumes of paper documents tend to be cumbersome, because these are difficult to preserve, update, and access. In contrast, digitizing critical documents will enable you to streamline and control the information assets, resulting in greater productivity and increased profits. Aptara provides end-to-end document scanning and imaging services to organizations seeking best-practice document management solutions. We use advanced scanning technology to transform masses of diverse document types into digital files that can be converted, cataloged, searched, labeled, printed, or simply archived.

Our imaging services include:

• Large format scanning
• Book scanning
• Non-destructive scanning
• High volume document scanning
• Scanning from microfilm, microfiche, and aperture cards

Our USP
Aptara employs a variety of high-end tools and techniques to provide best-quality imaging services including scanning and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). We are particularly adept at handling rare texts and other materials too brittle for flatbed scanning. These are scanned on a planetary scanner that does not require de-binding, thus minimizing any potential damage.

The electronic images produced can be saved in a variety of densities (dpi) and output formats such as TIFF, PDF, JPEG, GIF, CALS, and BMP. Documents of various sizes, as well as color and gray scale formats, can be accommodated.

With our OCR, you can search a vast database of document images for words, numbers, or phrases, resulting into easy and speedy review. Indices to the documents can also be coded and keyed to further enhance the retrieval process.

Additionally, Aptara can provide a full search and retrieval software package to access the documents (images). This software can reside with the database on standalone CD(s), which is particularly attractive for databases requiring wide dissemination. The software also supports the database(s) residing on the client's server, or even on the Web.
