Kirtas Earns a Spot on the Inc. 500…Again!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

For the second year in a row, Kirtas has been recognized on Inc. Magazine’s listing of Americas fastest-growing private companies! Earning a spot at #328, the list represents a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

This is significant on several levels to us; the most obvious being the recognition for our hard work and loyal customers. Kirtas’ appearance on this for the second year is also significant for what it says about the book digitization landscape. This is a true testament to the growth of this market and the need for high-quality digitization systems and services.

Kirtas Gets a Blog!

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Welcome to “The Inside Story,” For those of you who don’t know us, Kirtas is a provider of digitization systems and services, including the first-ever automated page turning book scanner.

In the 18 months I’ve been with the company, it’s amazing to see how book scanning and digitizing have gone from a “nice to have” to a necessity. The need to to preserve hundreds of years worth of books, manuscripts, academic journals, legal documents, and records grows by the day. And while preservation and access are driving forces behind many digitization efforts, Sony and Amazon have done their part to make digitization relevant and digital books mainstream driving the demand even more.

We hope that you’ll be able to get to know us better. And of course, we hope you’ll help us get to know you better! We’ll also be introducing you to other Kirtas team members and sharing some unique and interesting stories about what we’ve encountered in our time at Kirtas and why we love what we do!
