Local Authority and Public Sector
The public sector is continually looking for ways to reduce financial overheads, improve efficiency of their personnel and operations while meeting compliance.
Physical storage of historical paper and microfilm records either in existing owned property or third-party provider, take’s up physical space, which adds unnecessary costs while being unproductive when searching for information.
As a Scottish Government DPS approved and registered supported business, Greyscale Digital specialises in the scanning and digitisation of local authority archiving and information – documents, large format technical plans, microfilm and fragile book and items.
Data can then be extracted from those images using our AI Driven information management platform. Ensuring information is provided via CSV file, to improve searchability, while future-proofing your data.
Our dedicated digitisation facility is based near Glasgow, meaning your documentation remains within Scotland throughout the entire digitisation process.
Benefits include:
· Secure digitisation of all formas of paper and microfilm records
· AI Driven data extraction
· Improved accessibility to historical records
· Reduced physical storage requirements
· Searchable digital archives for faster information retrieval
