Many times governments or organizations request CSV or XML files after we convert a microfiche scanning project or do a microfiche conversion project. They need those type of indexing files to import into their electronic document management system (EDMS). This is one of many processes that may be used in a microfilm conversion project
Depending on their existing software and database, the format has to be exact otherwise importing will not work. For us at Scanning Depot, it's not an issue at all. We have created an indexing program that uses an SQL database, so it is easy to export to comma delimited text files, with any column heading order needed.
XML files are just as simple. Our clients will e-mail us a copy of the format they currently use for their EDMS, and we can match that format. After we perform the microfilm conversion process, we can reformat the files to meet the requirements of the system.
Everything we do is customized to fit our clients' needs and to ensure a seamless system once you get our images and data files back. Our microfilm scanning prices are also the best out there so you know you will get the best service for the best price.
