A chemical company was preparing to sell part of its operations and needed to replicate all their personnel records and real estate drawings to ensure that both the new and the original owners could maintain full records of employees and all site maps.

Capgen set up an in-house operation to capture and convert all files into multi-page PDF files with associated data. We hired four local staff, trained them on the job, supplied and set up all equipment to handle the work and liaised with their client to ensure that all criteria were met.

Over a period of 20 days 130,000 images were captured from personnel files and 10,000 large format drawings from the estates office. These were indexed ready to be up-loaded into the end-user's own management system.

A similar scenario arose for a European site. There were fewer documents and was handled by just two operators although the original paper sizes varied such that we still needed three scanners. All the work was completed in eight days.

A further company sale capture requirement arose in Brussels and was completed with minimal disruption to the company with a staff of five within ten days.
