Scanning an organization’s archive documents can be very tedious and time consuming, especially when it is done in-house. However, when you contact vendors that provides professional digitization services like Tecres Technologies that have the right equipment and personnel to scan your job quickly and easily, one of the first questions is to ascertain the estimated volume of pages to be scanned.
