I hate secrets. I especially hate when someone tells me a secret. If I can’t talk about it, what good is it?
By nature and by profession as Crowley’s Director of Communications, I am a sharer of information. So imagine my frustration when I find out that Crowley Imaging has just scanned _______ images (How many? Seriously?) of _______ (Are you kidding me?? These are the most amazing images I’ve ever seen!) for _______ (What do you mean I can’t use their prestigious name??). Or that we’ve just sold multiple high-speed microfilm scanners to_______ to digitize their incredible collection of_______. Oh, the stories I could tell. Oh the stories I can’t tell.
- 120M images scanned in six months (not a typo…but I can’t talk about it)
- 40M images for a premier archival institution (can’t talk about it)
- Thousands of daily claims processed (can’t talk about it)
- Forensic slides (eew…can’t talk about it)
- Early contracts of famous musicians (dirt cheap…can’t talk about it)
- OSHA records (safety first…can’t talk about it)
- Underground engineering plans (you’d be surprised what’s underground…can’t talk about it)
- Ivy League collections (heavy competition…can’t talk about it)
- 60 MACH2+ microform scanners out the door to a single client (can’t talk about it)
- …and the list I can’t talk about goes on…
The upside? After 35 years in the industry, our partners and clients know that they can trust The Crowley Company. It doesn’t matter if the subject matter is interesting or one-of-a-kind. It doesn’t matter if the cost-to-scan benefits prove that a product or project has paid for itself ten times over. When it comes to our clients, “can’t discuss” means “can’t discuss.” We have security clearance and we know how to use it.
Have a project you can’t discuss?
