THE ADVANTAGES OF MICROFILMING YOUR DOCUMENTS

SPACE SAVINGS:
Records on microfilm need as little as 2 percent of the space occupied by the same records on paper.

PERFORMANCE UNLIKE PAPER:
Microfilm can be used frequently without wear or damage. Since microfilm does not deteriorate with age like paper, it is equally valuable for archival storage.

SECURITY:
Microfilm is economical to duplicate and compact to store. Duplication can be made for working records, and the master film can be stored in a separate protected location. Thus, records are protected from fire, water, and smoke damage.

LEGAL PROTECTION:
Federal legislation clearly states that microfilmed business records are as admissible in evidence as the original documents, whether the originals are in existence or not. Hospitals, Insurance Companies, Banks, Government Offices, and other organizations depend upon microfilm for legal validity.

SPEED AND CONVENIENCE OF RETRIEVAL:
Only seconds are involved in retrieving one of a million records filed within arm's reach of a seated operator.

LOWERED OPERATION COST:
Valuable hours freed from sorting, filing, and refilling paper records are either recovered or channeled into more productive work.

IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY:
Information inquiries are satisfied accurately and without the delays of searching paper files.

FIXED FILE CONTINUITY:
Records filed on microfilm are in fixed sequence, guarding against misfiling, alteration, or loss.

DIMENSIONAL UNIFORMITY:
Regardless of the original document size, images are reduced to fit standard microfilm dimensions for convenient handling.

IMAGING:
Records placed on microfilm today can be economically scanned at a later date and converted over digital documents and CD's.
