Digitising massive paper archives whilst adhering to strict federal mandates and FADGI guidelines poses a daunting challenge for many institutions who operate in the domain of government document administration and regulatory compliance. In this blog, we uncover how cutting-edge technology, exemplified by the Kodak Alaris S3140 MAX Scanner, played a key role in enabling one institution to meet regulatory requirements and revolutionise its document management practices.

The Need for Compliance

Already overwhelmed with mountains of paper documents, the institution in question also faced an urgent need to comply with federal mandates and FADGI guidelines. Mandates M-19-21 and M-23-07 required the digitisation of all permanent records, whilst FADGI guidelines dictated the minimum standard image quality in the digital realm. Recognising the complexity of the task at hand, the institution sought strategic guidance from an IT consultancy specialising in document management services. Collaboratively, they aimed to streamline operations, improve productivity, at the same time as ensuring regulatory compliance.

Document Backlog and Operational Challenges

The biggest challenge for the institution was the sheer number of incoming paper documents – approximately 80 boxes monthly, each containing 2000 pieces of paper. The decentralised nature of their operations, spanning various satellite offices across the country, also posed logistical challenges, incurring hefty shipping costs not to mention security risks. To address these challenges, the IT consultancy Edge Digital Group utilised the capabilities of the Kodak i5250 FADGI Scanner and the Kodak S3140 MAX Scanner alongside Kodak Capture Pro Software.

These tools were instrumental in efficiently processing diverse documents, from legal records to personnel files, ultimately allowing them to overcome the daunting backlog with impressive speed. Jon Stuck, Director of Scanning Operations at Edge Digital Group, referred to the Kodak Alaris scanners as "workhorses” that effortlessly handled the vast paper archives, showcasing their industry-leading document feeder technology and high-volume throughput. The Kodak i5250 FADGI Scanners are capable of functioning in both FADGI and non-FADGI modes, offering government agencies unparalleled efficiency and flexibility. This guarantees the ability to fulfil present and future output demands with confidence.

Results that Speak Volumes

The pathway to sustainable progress involved establishing new protocols and procedures to streamline the digitisation process. From Program Compliance forms to post-scan validation using Kodak Capture Pro Software, every step was meticulously designed to enhance records security, accuracy, and efficiency.

Conclusion

These collaborative efforts between Edge Digital Group and Kodak Alaris have yielded remarkable results, advancing the institution toward eliminating its backlog and paving the way for a future-ready digital infrastructure. This success story stands as a model for other institutions grappling with similar challenges, highlighting the transformative power of collaboration and innovative technology.
