FAQ – OIC related document management

IS MY JOB TOO SMALL FOR YOU?
Our smallest job to date was the conversion of a twenty page document into a PDF file and then to email the result back to the customer. They were delighted with the result and the price.

IS MY JOB TOO LARGE FOR YOU?
One of our largest bureau scanning projects was the electronic conversion of 1.7 million paper based plans and purchasing documents relating to the construction of the worlds largest oil refinery. The refinery was built by Bechtel in Jamnagar, India. Copies of the documents were required in multiple locations and there was a three month period in which to complete the project. In terms of end-user solutions, the largest volume scanned is 25,000 documents per day with some 500+ users accessing the images.

CAN WE MAKE OUR IMAGES AVAILABLE ON THE WEB?
Yes. We can either provide you with a complete solution, including web hosting, or we can work with your IT department or partners to integrate document retrieval into your existing web applications.

CAN WE LINK OUR EXISTING APPLICATIONS TO YOUR SYSTEM?
This is referred to as ‘image enabling’. We provide an API (application interface) that allows your existing applications to hook into our system to view documents.

CAN I DESTROY THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN SCANNED?
Most of our clients do destroy the original documents once the scanning and indexing process has been completed. A minority of clients retain the originals in conjunction with off-site low-cost storage providers.

DO YOU PROVIDE HARDWARE MAINTENANCE COVER?
Yes. We can arrange hardware maintenance on the scanners, PCs or any other system component to suit the level of cover you require.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS OF SUPPORT?
The standard telephone hot-line service is operational between 09:00 and 17:30 Monday – Fridays (ex. UK national and bank holidays). However, we can provide out-of-hours cover for those projects that require it.

CAN THE IMAGES BE MODIFIED ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN SCANNED?
No. The images can be annotated – this is used to record operator comments, access history, etc. - but the scanned images cannot be modified in any way.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
If you do not find the answer to your question here, why not go to the contacts page and send us your question in the comments box. You can be sure of a prompt reply.
