Public Sector Records Management Challenges
The public sector faces a broad range of document management challenges:
Regulatory Compliance
Meeting GDPR and data handling requirements through secure and auditable systems.
Space & Cost Constraints
Valuable office space can be taken over by archives and documents and long-term archive storage and physicaly costs can be expensive.
Remote & Agile Access
Securely accessing critical paper records from multiple locations can be challenging. In addition remote workers can struggle to access paperwork when stored centrally.
Administrative Burden & Errors
A significant amount of staff time can be taken up to manually process incoming mail, forms and other correspondence. Human error and inconsistencies can also occur when entering and processing data.
Public Sector Framework Accessibility - Trusted & Secure
Access our services via various Public Sector Frameworks.
Public Sector Document Scanning
Many public sector organisations still rely on paper records that are difficult to access, expensive to store and vulnerable to damage or loss.
Our Public Sector document scanning services convert paper documents into fully searchable digital records using high-volume production scanners and OCR technology.
We regularly digitise:
Citizen records
Planning applications
Housing files
Environmental health records
Social care files
HR records
Finance documentation
Procurement records
Legal documents
Building control records
Engineering drawings
Maps and plans
Historical archives
Microfiche
Microfilm
Aperture cards
Documents can be indexed using unique references, addresses, application numbers, employee IDs or any bespoke metadata required by your organisation, enabling rapid retrieval and improved operational efficiency.

Barcode tracking
Complete audit trails

We receive, open, scan and classify documents to digitise incoming your mail. Our intelligent data capture tools can extract key data for output into your existing systems which can be applied to both inbound paperwork and digital documentation. We offer exception management and workflow to allocate documentation to the right team or department, turning physical mail into usable data from day one.
Automated Document & Email Processing
We can manage bulk inbound emails efficiently using intelligent document automation tools. Monitor single or multiple dedicated mailboxes.
