Business Benefits of Document Scanning

Document scanning helps organizations reduce paper storage, reclaim valuable office space, improve records retrieval, and lower the labor required to manage physical files. TierFive converts paper archives into secure, text-searchable digital records that can be delivered on encrypted media, transferred by secure sFTP, or hosted in Cirrus File Server. Digitized records are easier to search, share, protect, and recover while reducing dependence on filing cabinets, offsite storage, and manual document handling.

 Document Scanning & Digital Conversion Services

Document Scanning

Convert paper records into secure, searchable digital files with professional scanning, OCR, indexing, image enhancement, quality control, and encrypted delivery. TierFive manages projects from pickup and preparation through final digital output for businesses, government agencies, schools, healthcare organizations, and other records-intensive operations.

Large Format Scanning

Digitize blueprints, engineering drawings, architectural plans, maps, plats, surveys, and other oversized records using high-resolution large format scanning. TierFive preserves fine detail, annotations, scale, and readability while producing digital files that are easier to store, retrieve, share, and integrate into engineering or records-management workflows.

Indexing Services

Make scanned records easier to find with document indexing and structured metadata. TierFive captures names, dates, account numbers, document types, reference codes, and other required fields using OCR-assisted extraction, key-from-image entry, validation rules, and human review, with index data prepared for delivery or system import.

Back File Scanning

Convert years of stored paper records into organized, searchable digital archives with high-volume backfile scanning. TierFive can process boxed records, filing cabinets, departmental archives, and large records-retention backlogs while maintaining document order, chain of custody, indexing requirements, and quality control throughout the conversion project.

Microfilm Scanning

Convert legacy microfilm and microfiche into searchable digital records using specialized film-scanning equipment and image-processing workflows. TierFive digitizes 16mm and 35mm roll film, microfiche, aperture cards, and other archival media while enhancing image quality and organizing output for long-term preservation, retrieval, and digital records access.

Secure, Scalable Document Scanning Services for Your Business

Let TierFive Handle Your Backlog So You Can Move Forward

The Scanning Process

TierFive transforms paper archives into secure, searchable digital files through a verified, end-to-end workflow. Each project maintains full chain-of-custody tracking and multi-stage quality control aligned with HIPAA, ISO, and SOC2 standards. Using advanced imaging, OCR, and AI-driven metadata recognition, we ensure accuracy, clarity, and compliance. Final files are encrypted, validated, and ready for seamless import into OnBase, Cirrus File Server, OpenText, or Laserfiche and others.

Workflow Process Steps

Step 1 - Secure Document Collection
Secure document collection is the first stage of TierFive’s document scanning and paper records digitization process. Clients may ship boxed records directly to our secure facility or schedule pickup by our background-verified staff. For larger backfile scanning projects, TierFive can remove files from cabinets, create an on-site manifest, label and barcode containers, and establish documented chain-of-custody tracking. This provides an organized, accountable transition from physical paper records to digital conversion.
Step 2 - Receiving & Chain-of-Custody Tracking
Document receiving establishes accountability before scanning production begins. TierFive verifies incoming boxes against available manifests, checks container labels and physical condition, documents discrepancies, and enters each approved box into our barcode tracking system. This controlled records intake process helps maintain chain of custody and allows individual containers to be located during production if a client requires access to a paper file before the document digitization project is complete.
Step 3 - Document Preparation
Document preparation makes paper records scan-ready while preserving their original organization. TierFive removes staples, paper clips, bindings, sticky notes, and other scanning obstructions; straightens folded pages; organizes files; and inserts separator sheets or barcodes when required. Fragile documents, bound records, small attachments, and oversized materials can be routed for specialized handling. Professional document preparation improves scanning accuracy, protects source records, preserves folder structure, and reduces unnecessary rescanning.
Step 4 - High-Speed Document Scanning & Imaging
High-volume document scanning converts prepared paper records into accurate digital images. TierFive uses production-class document scanners operated by experienced imaging technicians who monitor page orientation, alignment, contrast, image clarity, and pagination throughout production. Documents can be captured in bi-tonal black and white, grayscale, or full color and delivered as PDF, searchable PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, JPEG, or other required digital formats for records management, archival storage, and enterprise content management systems.
Step 5 - Kofax VRS Image Enhancement
Document image enhancement improves the readability and consistency of scanned records before OCR and indexing. TierFive uses Kofax VRS Elite by Tungsten Automation to reduce background noise, improve contrast, sharpen text and edges, optimize color, and normalize documents with varying paper or print quality. Cleaner source images can improve OCR accuracy and produce digital records that are easier to read, search, index, review, and manage.
Step 6 - OCR & Advanced Image Processing
Advanced document image processing refines scanned files and prepares them for search, indexing, and delivery. TierFive can apply de-skewing, page-orientation correction, blank-page removal, cropping, background cleanup, hole-punch removal, brightness and contrast adjustment, and color optimization. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can convert scanned pages into text-searchable PDF files, while project-specific processing rules can prepare images for document management systems, records retention programs, redaction workflows, or other digital business processes.
Step 7 - Document Indexing & Metadata Validation
Document indexing assigns searchable metadata to scanned files so records can be identified, organized, and retrieved efficiently. TierFive can capture names, dates, account numbers, employee IDs, document types, reference codes, and other required fields using OCR-assisted extraction and manual key-from-image data entry. Validation rules and human review improve metadata consistency, while projects requiring additional verification can use dual-entry or double-blind indexing to support higher accuracy requirements before final delivery.
Step 8 - AI Document Classification & Metadata Recognition
AI-assisted document classification can accelerate metadata extraction on large or complex document scanning projects. TierFive’s offline AI workflow can analyze headers, tables, logos, forms, page layouts, and other structural elements to identify document types and locate required information. Natural-language processing and entity recognition can extract values such as names, dates, identifiers, reference numbers, and totals. Confidence scoring routes uncertain results to trained operators, combining automated document processing with human verification.
Step 9 - Document Scanning Quality Assurance
Document scanning quality assurance verifies that digital records are complete, readable, correctly ordered, and properly indexed before delivery. TierFive reviews image clarity, page completeness, orientation, file integrity, document order, and metadata accuracy throughout production. Exceptions are identified and corrected before approval. Final digital files can then be organized into the required folder and naming structure and prepared for import into OnBase, Cirrus File Server, OpenText, Laserfiche, and other ECM systems.
Step 10 - Reverse Document Preparation & File Reassembly (Optional)
Reverse document preparation restores original paper files after scanning when physical records must be retained. TierFive can reassemble documents in their original sequence, reapply approved staples or fasteners, return records to their original folders or binders, and place completed files back into labeled boxes. This optional document reassembly service allows organizations to gain searchable digital access while preserving original records required for legal, archival, operational, contractual, or wet-signature retention purposes.
Step 11 - Secure Digital File Delivery
Secure digital delivery transfers completed scanned records using a method appropriate for the project’s security and operational requirements. TierFive supports AES-256 encrypted files, FIPS 140-2 validated hardware-encrypted drives, encrypted sFTP using TLS 1.3, optical media including archival-grade M-Disc, and other approved delivery methods. Deliverables can include searchable PDFs, folder structures, filenames, index metadata, and files prepared for migration into document management or enterprise content management systems. TierFive maintains documented security and compliance programs supporting HIPAA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 requirements.
Step 12 - Records Disposition, Storage & Secure Document Shredding
Physical records disposition occurs after the completed digital files have been reviewed and approved by the client. Original documents may be returned, retained temporarily, transferred to secure records storage, or destroyed following written authorization. TierFive offers secure document shredding using documented chain-of-custody procedures and DIN 66399 P-4 cross-cut destruction, with a Certificate of Destruction available upon completion. This final stage completes the lifecycle from paper records to organized, searchable digital information.
