CLEAR ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS WITHOUT THE PAPER LOAD

3. Intake and File Preparation
Records are logged, organised, and prepared for scanning within controlled handling environments to maintain accuracy and order.
4. School Record Scanning
Each record is scanned using high quality equipment to produce clear, consistent digital files suitable for long term storage and reference.
5. Quality Review and Delivery
All scanned records are checked against agreed requirements to confirm accuracy, structure, and completeness before final delivery.

DOCUMENT SCANNING PROCESS
- Consultation and Scope of Works
All scanning projects should commence with a consultation between the customer and the scanning provider. Every customer and project have specific requirements and it’s important for the vendor to understand the individual needs for each project. A detailed quotation and scope of work document should be developed to articulate how the project will be executed including the costs, time, naming, and metadata requirements.
- Document Security and Transportation
Document security and confidentiality is often the most important consideration for any digitisation project. Secure transportation of the materials from the customers premises to the scanning facility is of paramount importance. The manner in which the materials are boxed prior to transportation plays a critical role in protecting the materials during transportation. Boxes should be appropriate for the weight and size for the materials and be made from durable cardboard or other material as necessary.
- Receipt of Materials and Document Preparation
Once the materials are received at the scanning facility they should be stored in a secure area with consideration for temperature and humidity, light, air quality, pest management and the area should comply with workplace health and safety requirements. Materials are then ready to be prepared. This process should include the removal of any plastic sleeves, paper clips and staples. Documents should then be dusted and cleaned, sorted, ordered and any paper tears repaired ready for scanning.
- Professional Scanning Specialists
A professional outsourced scanning solution will include the use of high speed, state-of-the art production scanners. The use of high-speed production scanners enable sophisticated image quality and enhancement features whilst producing high definition colour images.
- Quality Assurance
The quality assurance process should ensure that each step in the preparation and scanning process has a specific quality check. This should include every image being checked and that file outputs match the customers’ requirements as part of our quality assurance program.
