DOCUMENT SCANNING IN EDUCATION: BUDGETS AND PRIORITIES: Throughout the education sector, from nurseries to universities, budgets are tight and managers are under pressure to do more with less. Frontline teaching must always be the priority, so the administration functions must support this by running as efficiently as possible. Document Scanning may well solve a problem for many organizations. It saves money, saves time, and increases efficiency: exactly what the education sector needs.

HR AND PERSONNEL RECORDS: HR and personnel records are essential. It’s not just necessary to follow the right procedures through the employment process: there must also be an audit trail to demonstrate this was done. Paper records are fragile, and relying on them is a risk. They can be lost, damaged and defaced. To remove this risk is simple: scan the documents into an online document management system. With document scanning and an online document management system security is designed in from the ground up. Access to documents is precisely controlled.

ACADEMIC AND PUPIL RECORDS: Schools and colleges need to keep academic records for a long time. It’s possible that, years after they leave, questions will be asked about a pupil’s academic achievements. The answers are hidden away in paper documents: exam results, attendance, school prizes and awards. Finding the answers can take a lot of time. Sometimes it is a pointless exercise, because the documents required have been lost or simply filed in the wrong place.

CONSENT FORMS: It is standard practice to ask for a signed consent form before many outof-school activities. Thankfully, the forms are rarely needed. When 6

they are needed, it is often urgent, and very important. Relying on the teacher concerned may not be enough: they may be away, or even have left the school. It’s far better to scan the forms as a matter of routine, so that they are always available to whoever needs them. Document scanning solves all of these problems. Your pupils’ records and achievements are made secure and easy to find.

DOCUMENT SCANNING CAN HELP: •

It doesn’t matter if you have a backlog of paper documents : we can scan them all in for you 7

•

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a suitable scanner : we can supply one, and train you how to use it, or do the scanning for you

•

It doesn’t matter if your budgets are tight : with our online document management system you pay for what you use, when you use it

ADVANTAGES OF DOCUMENT SCANNING: ➢ MINIMIZE PAPER STORAGE: With the assistance of scanning service, you are able to make soft-copy backups, eliminating the need for paper storage. ➢ INCREASED SECURITY: The information you digitize can be kept securely online using a document management system which requires authorized personnel to access it. This also allows your business or law firm to be protected from theft or damage from a fire or flood. ➢ REDUCED COSTS: For those who are renting space to store files or using a third party company to organize them, this could result in a good amount of money being spent to manage the information. ➢ ENVIRONMENTALLY

FRIENDLY:

Less

paper

production means less paper waste which ends up in packed 8

landfills. Fewer trees will be used which can help provide our city, state, and planet with cleaner air. ➢ CONVENIENCE: Instead of rummaging through massive loads of paperwork to find something particular, you will be able to easily search, archive and retrieve your documents on a computer and even your phone. Document scanning enables users to store all their information in one place.

DISADVANTAGES OF DOCUMENT SCANNER: ✓ MAKE A FAKE: Scanners can be used to fake documents. For example, one of the quickest things that can be faked with a scanner is an ID. All a scam 9

artist needs is the framework (an old corporate ID badge) and a new photo. Within minutes, the photo is transposed onto the old ID and text changed, and for all purposes, someone who is not your employee can now look like one.

✓ SIZE RESTRICTIONS: Although your corporate supply catalog may have several scanner types on offer, most scanners restrict you to the size of an 8.5 inch by 14 inch page of paper, or in some cases of photo scanners, even smaller. Larger flatbed scanners are expensive, and in most instances, you’d scan a big document, poster or other item in sections, perhaps even having to cut or fold it, to completely scan it.

10

✓ UNWANTED EXTRAS: Scanners, which don’t appear fragile, don’t need much to start producing unwanted extras on your documents. That single piece of dust may contribute to dots, lines and other pieces of unwanted designs showing up on your scans – and finding the little speck can be difficult when you’re trying to remove it. Other times, scanners produce unwanted extras such as striations and other lines on your documents, even without dust or dirt on the flatbed.

✓ LAMP REPLACEMENT: Although you may only see it when you close the flatbed lid and generate the scan, a lamp is often hard at work inside the scanner. When the scanner is operational, you won’t have to interact with the lamp, but when the lamp goes bad, several problems may occur. Lamps can shut themselves off if you unplug your AC adapter or power cord, for example. They may contribute to an over-exposed or under-exposed scanned image, as well. Your scanner manual will offer guidance on the proper lamp and accessories to use, but when your lamp goes bad, you’re also faced with several other problems. Replacing a scanner lamp isn’t as simple as reaching into your office touchier and switching out the bulbs. Old scanners may mean that your replacement parts – which include clamps and other accessories as well as the bulb – may not even be available, or may require an on-site professional or trip to a service shop. 11

CONCLUSION: 1. Document – imaging scanners come with increasing numbers of features, capabilities, and add-on software. 2. There are inexpensive desktop scanners for very small businesses, departmental scanners for larger departments, and production – level scanners that can handle very heavy scanning workload.
