Government

The Current Situation

At every level of state, county and local government, proceedings from every legislative, commission, board and authority--going back to the incorporation of the entity--are captured and preserved as bound documents.

Obviously after decades, this has resulted in a mountain of information that has been manually indexed. Unfortunately, those indexes--which have been known to change with every managerial change in the clerk’s and record’s offices--are inconsistent and have become an obstacle to access rather than a roadmap.

Often these proceedings make reference to other documents, attachments and submissions that have been physically archived in a records warehouse.

Thus, the individual is forced to stop their search, contact the records department and request a copy of the specific single- or multi-page document.

The best digitization solution would be a data management system that could house both bound and single-sheet documents in a seamless electronic platform.

The Kirtas Value Proposition:

Kirtas is uniquely positioned as a company with the sophisticated technology to capture high quality images from those books and bound documents not born digital.

The high resolution as well as our proprietary, highly compressed, high resolution PDF file can support not only digital on-demand printing but offset printing of books in quantities of over 1000.

This gives clients an option to select the most cost-effective reproduction option without compromising quality.

And, since cost is always an important factor when talking about government markets, it is important to remember that Kirtas has one of the lowest scanning costs per page in the world.
