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!
