Legal Scanning

Scan Conversion Services (SCS) is an international scanning bureau who has developed advanced technology to deliver highly effective business solutions. SCS have been providing document scanning, indexing and total solutions for over a decade.

At SCS we are committed to understanding the way our clients work and to tailoring a service that best suits their needs. This – combined with our considerable experience in scanning and indexing technology – guarantees that your projects can be completed quickly and cost efficiently with minimum interruption to your organisation.

Among our highly focused specialist services are those we provide to the legal profession. With clients we are proud to have served including: Australian Government Solicitor, Courts Administration Authority, Department of Public Prosecutions, Finlayson, Minter Ellison, Piper Alderman, Purcell Lancione Cureton, SAPOL’s Major Crime Squad, and the SA State Coroners Office.

For these and other legal clients, a key facet of our work is the scanning of relevant records for discovery and to contribute to substantially improved case management. In so doing:

• Documents are converted into searchable PDF format files that facilitate highly efficient and comprehensive investigation.
• Records can be simply indexed and formatted for easy loading into tools such as Case Book.
• Multiple copies of data – in different formats – can be readily created for other parties.
• A complete range of documents can be captured including word files, spreadsheets, technical drawings, images and hand written material.
• Scanned documents can span each facet of the legal process. From client interview notes through case assessments and investigations. From summons and complaint through pre-trial pleadings and trial preparation. And finally to trial and appeal.
• The significant costs associated with the manual filing and retrieval of documents can be largely eliminated.
• Overall security – including the prevention of document loss as a result of fire – is improved.
• The risk of document loss is far more effectively prevented.
• Existing electronic files can be indexed into the document sets and made word searchable.

Most importantly, and to ensure maximum security, SCS can provide its legal scanning services ‘on site’ in the client’s own premises.
