When organizations have neither the staff nor the resources to collect and analyze important data, they come to The Collister Group for help. We provide expert document scanning and data collection.

The Collister Group has scanned, indexed, and brought millions of documents on-line for clients around the world.

Our document scanning services utilize a combination of interactive and automated scanning procedures, providing you with the best balance of quality, speed and cost performance.  Production processes are tailored to meet our customers' exacting requirements.

Our imaging scanning begins with careful attention to document preparation followed by high quality scanning procedures. Extensive quality control procedures, experienced project managers, trained operators, and the latest advances in digital imaging, support our commitment to delivering the highest quality scanning product available.

The Collister Group's document scanning services can be provided on-site or at any of our production facilities.  We can also provide Facilities Management programs for customers requiring an in-house solution without the headaches of staffing, training and gearing up for an internal operation. 

Backfile Conversion

We can scan millions of pages of paper, roll film, microfiche, or electronic media into images that are available in over 100 easily accessible and retrievable formats, including PDF.

Indexing

No imaging solution can function without accurate indexes to match the images. The Collister Group builds an index database for each image, allowing the end-user to quickly and easily retrieve the required images. We capture indexes from image, barcode, OCR, and customer-provided match and merge files. Whatever the source, we will capture, format, and verify the index to your specifications.

Optical Character Recognition

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process whereby text is automatically extracted from electronic images. The text is then captured in a separate file (formatted like Word Documents, or unformatted in plain ASCII Text) and associated with the electronic document image it was derived from.
