Microfiche, Microfilm & Aperture Card Scanning
Cleardata offers secure scanning and digitisation services for Microfilm, Microfiche and Aperture Cards. We use our fleet of Sunrise Apollo Scanners to 
digitise your data and can provide a fast service throughout the UK. Our team of bureau operatives will expertly convert your film, fiche or cards to any required format. A popular choice is PDF or TIFF. Once in a digital format, your data can be shared and accessed quickly by multiple users or locations.
With new GDPR compliance in force requiring businesses to perform subject access requests within a guaranteed time, data stored on microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards can cause an issue. For example, Pension or Finance Records may be stored on these devices, with limited access. Digitising your fiche and film can help with compliance, ensuring records are readily accessible when you need them.
