Many offices struggle with the physical storage demands brought on by the creation and maintenance of School records in analog (paper) form. To address those demands, offices frequently turn to imaging technology to alleviate space shortages, allow for more widespread sharing of information, and quicken retrieval of needed documents.
Imaging (also referred to as scanning, digitizing, or digital imaging) involves converting text or graphics on a paper document into a computer readable form through a scanning device. The information provided on this page is intended to educate you about the records and information management considerations of imaging, and to elicit a careful analysis of not only the types of documents to digitize but also the costs and benefits associated with imaging.
