Embrace the digital benefits of cloud storage.

Digital documents that require long-term yet accessible storage benefit from cloud storage – a simple and efficient way to store, access and retrieve documents online. At Microform, we offer externally-hosted cloud based storage, as well as the option to integrate to your internal cloud storage of choice such as SharePoint, Google Cloud and Microsoft One Drive.

/ The Benefits

Search & Retrieve

Full-text search functionality that searches on both document metadata and OCR data means you can access and retrieve the information you're looking for without hassle.

Free-up Space

Placing documents in storage instantly frees up office space that could be used to introduce new equipment, upgrade working conditions, welcome new staff, or move all operations remotely.

Guarantee future access

Documents can still be retrieved and accessed safe in the knowledge that they are fully protected from potential damage, loss, theft and deterioration.

Maintain full compliancy

Archiving documents professionally, improves compliancy and retrieval by ensuring safe, secure and appropriate storage of private and confidential information.

Document Security

Our cloud management systems are completely bespoke with the option to include unique security and access features to ensure only those granted permission can retrieve specific documents.

/ How It Works

1 / Consultation

Your materials are picked up and safely transported to our facilities. Before we leave, all materials are checked to ensure nothing is left behind.

2 / Collection

Upon arrival, your documents are thoroughly inspected before we carefully prepare them for the scanning process. Once digitised, the images undergo a rigorous quality assurance procedure to ensure legibility, completeness and where appropriate, pagination.

3 / Scanning

Scanned images are indexed (named) as per your instructions. This is achieved by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software and techniques to capture information on the document automatically or by manually keying the information in from the scanned image.

4 / Indexing

Your digital images are delivered to you for approval by your preferred method along with your original documents.

5 / Delivery

If you longer wish to keep your original documents, we will arrange for them to be securely destroyed or recycled at our facilities.

6 / Destruction

If you longer wish to keep your original documents, we will arrange for them to be securely destroyed or recycled at our facilities.
