Electronic Archiving

BWR has the capacity to scan and image massive amounts of stored documents for easy access on any PC, media or Web. We take documents of any size, prep them for scanning, scan them, and index the digitized image to our client’s relational database.

Our clients gain accelerated flows of information as well as other benefits from having a document management solution. Learn more under “why document management?”

As the result of scanning 7,000 drawings, a leading engineering firm created a workspace for four draftsmen. Click here to read more.

We can scan architectural & engineering drawings into most common image formats, including Tiff and PDF. Each one of these formats work with 99% of the document management software on the market today. Additionally, we can scan paper sizes from 8 1/2 x 11 to 36 x unlimited length.

Most indexes for the Large Format Drawings are the drawing number. Another indexing feature is taking information off of these drawings and indexing that information into a database, Tiff or PDF Document Property. This provides for enhanced search and retrieve options.

For small format scanning, we create levels of search ability to your specifications. Boxes of project close-out information, including correspondants, submittals, drawings, leases, sketches, accounts receivable, human resource files, and photos, can all be transformed to one searchable file. If a naming convention or file format system has not been created, we will help you build one through our transitional consultation services.

An international construction company recently converted 250 project close out boxes (2 million pieces of paper) to five DVDs of organized electronic information. What took days and uncertainty for specific document retrieval, now happens in minutes. Click here to read more.

BWR has created a unique system to incorporate large and small format into one retrievable file. We can provide scanning services two ways…

In-House Scanning
This is scanning done at our locations. We will pick up your documents at any location in the tri-state area with several methods of transport, storage and post-scanning shredding.

Customer On-Site Scanning
This has become our biggest area of growth in the last few years. In simple terms, we bring our office to yours. This service adds the convenience and the need for maintaining highly sensitive documents at our client’s location.

If you would like to see the value of digitally scanning your project close-out documents rather than traditional box and store methods, please contact us at customerservice@bwrepro.com or 212-643-0600. We would be pleased to create a sample digital archive for you at no cost.
