Document Scanning saves the day!
Document Scanning allows immediate restoration work to commence after building plans were lost in the Brisbane Floods.
In 2010 – 2011, extensive floods devastated Brisbane, and in the industrial area of West End, a property managed by Dexus was flooded and the plans totally ruined.
DEXUS contacted us and we were able to provide a disk with all the plans which was couriered to them the same day. This significantly reduced the time the get the building ready to be occupied again.

Document Scanning or Document Imaging is the process which converts paper based information to electronic images that are stored in a computer. Document imaging is an important part of doing business. Document scanning and document imaging helps to ensure that business paperwork can be saved and archived safely.
Almost all companies have a large number of documents that only exist in a paper format. Document Scanning or imaging allows an organisation to capture this paper based information and save it in a computer electronically.
Document Scanning - the benefits
- Accessibility
- Ease of access
- Enables full text search
- Security
- Space savings
Document Scanning or Document Imaging form the basis of Document Management Systems and Records Management Systems.
To make scanned documents really useful they need to be indexed to allow them to be searched. This can be done by a process called Optical Character Recognition (OCR) which converts graphic images to searchable text.
Depending on the type of documents and the quality of indexing required, indexing may need to be done manually. This involves an operator viewing each document and extracting the relevant information into a spreadsheet or database. For example when scanning or imaging plans common information from each plan can be extracted such as plan and revision number, author, date and description.
