Choosing the wrong digitization partner puts your collection at risk

  • Your materials are irreplaceable – a vendor’s inexperience is a liability you absorb
  • Imaging standards like FADGI require precision most service bureaus can’t consistently deliver
  • Sensitive government or institutional records demand confidentiality throughout the entire process
  • Projects stall when vendors can’t handle your volume, format, or on-site requirements
  • Pilot scanning is rarely offered, so quality problems surface only after production has begun
