Jokes aside
Jokes aside, Micro Com Systems is home to real industry veterans – some that have been with the company since the beginning of time. They ate dinosaurs for breakfast. Alright, so let’s not throw all humour out the window.
Micro Com’s diligent scanning division can be separated into three distinct sections amidst the hullabaloo of the production floor: Paper Document, Large Format, and Microfilm. So weigh anchor and hoist the mainsail. We’re about to set sail on a whirlwind tour of the action, starting with the scanning room floor.
Scanning operations at our Vancouver location
Ground level – proper preparation of your documents.
Step right up. See the amazing Micro-Machines that give the Sailor Scouts a run for their money with teamwork, determination, and skill, with more flair and style than Tuxedo Mask. Every sheet of paper passes through the hands of our experienced preppers. They wade through the Sea of Internal Office Memo and scale Triplicate Peaks on a daily basis. Each and every document is handled with due care and attention, and specially prepared for the least impact during scanning, especially documents of a more fragile than the skin of an onion. MCS ensures they may live long and prosper before parting ways.
Archival Book Scanning & Digitizing Service
Worried about the wear and tear on sensitive and fragile documents during the digitization process? Worry no longer. Peace of mind is ‘The Priestly’ of Micro Com. You have a project, Micro Com will find a way to bring it to fruition.
But it’s not all about shucking paperclips and staples. Life moves pretty fast, and if you’re not careful, you’ll miss it while drowning poorly maintained file rooms. MCS’s preppers organize documents into a coherent system prior to scanning for ease of navigation once converted to a digital medium, instead of a jumble of documents thrown into a folder with a label slapped on the cover.
After documents have undergone the careful scrutiny of the meticulous preppers, several methods of scanning are utilized based on individual needs. Different strokes for different folks, whether that be paper, microfilm, aperture cards, slides, or even negatives. You have it. MCS scans it. Delicate materials? Our scrupulous scanner technicians work with a variety of scanners to find the best solution. Like a high resolution book scanner that gently cradles your books. No need to destroy the beautiful bindings or integrity of your priceless first editions, or tear apart your comic book collection. Over the years, Micro Com has handled rather delicate and brittle documents preserved from decades long past, including ancient newspapers and beautiful scrolls, enabling the ability to share these precious pieces of history without endangering the original material.
High volume scanning
High volume becomes no challenge with our rapid double-sided document automated feed scanners that easily manage a volume of 120 single pages scanned per minute. Double-sided? Double it. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – large print edition – scanned cover to cover faster than a Firebolt. Crunch the numbers. That’s over 700 pages in 3 minutes. Imagine the mountains of information stored in musty warehouses that could be transfigured with an ease that would make McGonagall proud.
Custom scanning services
But what about the custom options? Customize to meet your specific needs, because like snowflakes, no two clients are the same. Work with our knowledgeable team and peruse a mockup to find what’s right for you. Black and white? Sure. Grayscale? Can do. Colour? You bet your kitten. Crisp clean images, indexed, named, and organized according to your will at your fingertips. The Overlord would be pleased.
So what are you waiting for? Firefly’s Second Season?

Leave a Comment Many companies are looking at introducing ECM (Enterprise Content Management) or EDMS (Electronic Document Management Systems)to streamline their operations.
Many questions arise early on for organizations considering the adoption of ECM/EDMS. What are the hardware requirements? How many FTE’s can be re-deployed, and what training will they require? What about IT support? What type of scanners are necessary, enterprise, departmental or desktop? What about capture software and licenses? Service contracts? Network or bandwidth considerations?
Understanding Electronic Document Management Systems
There are many factors that can influence the selection of scan hardware and software. Of particular concern are the need for back file conversion of existing paper records, and the day forward capture strategies for new paper documents entering the system. Any company that has been in business for several years will have significant volumes of paper housed in traditional filing cabinets, archive boxes and in offsite storage. If it is decided that all or most of these records should be housed in the ECM/ EDMS, that will have a huge impact on the implementation strategy and costs.
Impact on Strategy & Costs
For example, if company X determines it has several million pages of paper records to scan, or a whole library to digitize, it has some very important decisions to make. If company X chooses to do this work in house, they will need to commit significant financial and human resources to the task. They will need to invest in high speed scanners and capture software / licenses as well as service contracts, hire and train several supervisors and perhaps 8-10 operators, commit many hundreds of square feet of office space and assign valuable IT resources for the life of the back file conversion.
Vancouver’s High Volume Scanning Service Bureau
Alternatively, company X could retain a scanning service bureau to perform this work on their behalf, which can offer significant advantages over performing the work in house.
Hardware and software investments will be considerably reduced as only the day forward (usually a vastly smaller volume) work will be processed by company x.
Human resources will also be significantly reduced (see item 1).
Production timelines will be drastically reduced if required as service bureaus can ramp up or down to meet tight deadlines.
On a direct cost comparison basis, the costs associated to converting the back file using a service bureau are usually dramatically lower than performing the work in house. The disparity in cost is especially large if the back file conversion is the first assignment taken on by a newly created in house scan team!
The same scan capture software and methodology employed and perfected by the scanning service bureau over millions of cycles can be deployed in house on a smaller scale for day forward capture, saving considerable time, cost and effort.
