The necessary evil of any conversion project is the preparation of documents before any scanning or microfilming can take place.  Microsystems employs a full staff of preparation technicians and supervisors whose job functions include;

• Organizing and sorting documents (if necessary)
• Purging documents (if necessary)
• Inserting targets (where necessary)
• Removing all staples and paper clips
• Mending any torn pages
• Maintaining consistent orientation of page headers

Microsystems preparation staff is the first Quality Control check for your conversion project.  Any discrepancies in project order, index criteria, or missing documentation is immediately communicated to the customer.  This communication is critical in providing a Quality Product to our customers.

In order to keep the cost of indexing to a minimum, customer provided lists are used to print barcode targets.  These targets include exact indexing criteria, and are introduced to the beginning of each document by our Preparation staff.

If by chance you need to have access to your documents while they are at Microsystems, our Preparation staff will pull and fax (deliver) these requests usually within a couple of hours (or sooner if needed).

As one of our employees puts it 'it's like doing bodywork on a car - the better the bodywork, the better the paint job".

Some of our Preparation Staff - hard at work!
