Our Digital Archive Service addresses the issues faced by those of you with the obligation to retain your original set of stamped and sealed drawings.

On site storage takes up expensive office space, while off site storage presents timely retrieval issues, and the possibility of damaged and deteriorated originals is a cause for concern wherever they are stored.

Converting your stamped and sealed drawings and “as-built” plans into digital format ensures the safety and integrity of your valuable originals for future generations. ScottBlue will convert your wide format drawings (larger than 11x17) into Group IV compressed tiff files, or PDF files. Our high-speed scanners have unprecedented speed, while the straight through feed path of the scanners ensures dimensional stability and accuracy of your scan, with no damage to your delicate originals.

The most important aspect of a digital document management solution is the initial construction of your image retrieval system. Our document archive specialist will make a site visit to your storage facility and customize the image retrieval options most suited to your working environments. We can digitally duplicate your existing hard copy retrieval system, or create an entire document management solution. Our on site training means there is next to no down time required to train your staff on your new digital archive.

ScottBlue Reprographics provides comprehensive document management solutions for documents 11x17 and smaller, from archiving of work orders, purchase orders, invoices or job files, to creation of a complete digital specification library to complement your digital drawing archive.

Our document scanning division will convert your small format documents into CCITT G4 compressed single or multipage Tiff files, or can be created in PDF Format. Bookmarks and links can be added for increased navigation throughout your PDF file.

Scanned documents can be processed with state of the art OCR software, and converted to editable Word or Excel documents.

Image retrieval options can be as easy as using the simplest Windows based file structure, or a complete document management solution can be designed and implemented.

ScottBlue has various image retrieval software solutions available, including PaperVision Image Retrieval Software. The user-friendly 4 screen process of PaperVision offers ease of use for even the most novice computer operator. You can use this software to print, annotate, email, and export your digital files.

PaperVision provides access to an array of file types – scanned images, COLD/ERM documents, CAR files, CAD drawings, spreadsheets, all through a single point of entry.

You can even print or export lists of documents, while using annotation tools to highlight, attach arrows, pinup text, and redaction.

ScottBlue provides the flexibility of on-site scanning solutions, with an in house document management technician, or we will transport your documents to our flagship location for archive purposes – It’s Your Choice.

Most importantly, ScottBlue is committed to the upward migration of your digital archive as technology evolves.
