Scan Centers of America® offers the full spectrum of Electronic Document Management (EDM) services.

Data Capture

Sample Definitions:

•	The process of getting information into a database, usually done by people typing it in by way of data-entry forms designed to simplify the process
•	The process of adding information to the system
•	Entering data into a database so that it can be analyzed. May be done from a CATI terminal or entered from paper records, address lists, questionnaires, etc.

It is not always possible to automatically convert documents to digital form. Data capture from handwritten and poor quality documents are often more cost effectively done by manual key entry and verification. Our data entry services eliminate document overload by taking your hard copy data - like surveys, mailing lists, warranties, coupons etc. and moving it into a workable database.

Our capabilities include competitive high-capacity data entry services to key from scanned images or directly from hard-copy. Keyed data is always linked to database extracts if a database exists. Axiom will develop a service plan for your specific data entry projects and forms processing requirements. Our approach to data entry and the technologies we employ enable us to deliver the highest levels of data quality, accuracy, and quick turnaround, but also address your need for document and data security and confidentiality.

We insist on 100% independent key verification, which results in 99.95% accuracy of legible characters. Unlike many other vendors, we do not sub-contract any assignment. This allows us to maintain the process controls and quality assurance checkpoints necessary for the high-quality output that we are known for. Of course, this policy also maximizes the security and confidentiality of your data and allows us to pass on cost savings to you.

In many assignments, Data Entry is done from original hard-copy documents. In other situations, source documents are scanned at our global offices or at your site. Digital images are the only documents shipped electronically for data entry using Key From Image technology. This eliminates the risk of lost documents. Axiom implements 128-bit cipher encryption and secure FTP methods for transmitting data, enhancing data security.

Our management in the USA monitors each assignment from start to finish. Axiom's proprietary software tracks documents and data real-time as they move through the extraction/conversion workflow process. The tracking software ensures that every document and all data is accounted for and ensures that all data is captured accurately and within the agreed upon time line.
