We’re the Calgary and Edmonton large format and large document scanning experts. Using advanced technology for scanning maps, drawings, log files, posters or other oversized documentation, we can produce high-resolution images of documents up to 36” wide by any length.
Day-Forward Scanning
Begin your digital transformation journey by developing a process to scan, index and convert paper records as they are created or received.
Paper documents slow down business processes and are prone to risks like theft, fires and floods—but going from paper-based processes to paperless can feel daunting. Our experts will work with you to identify where paper is entering your organization and develop a strategy for streamlining your document workflows. We will then manage your day-forward scanning by providing the people and technology on-site at your workplace, or we will help you implement processes that your staff can handle internally.

Scan-to-Zero
If your business records are in a document storage facility, you're likely paying a fixed monthly rate on a long-term contract. When that contract is up, there's still no end in sight as your volume of information continues to grow.
With Scan-to-Zero, we will scan your documents and digitize your organization's records at a fixed monthly volume and a predictable monthly fee that is flexible to meet your budget until your paper and invoice both reach zero. We'll also store your physical records at our secure facilities for no extra cost so you can eliminate storage fees immediately.

Today, as one of the few Canadian service providers of microfilm scanning, we are digitizing the very records we produced decades ago with precision quality and lightning speed. Our top-of-the-line microfilm scanners use advanced technology to convert images into sharp, defined and quality digital content.
