Compact Data Management Ltd is a leading specialist in document scanning and data conversion.

For many organisations using Compact's document scanning and data conversion solutions, the key benefit is the legal admissibility of the information.

ISO9001:2000 accredited, Compact offers a high quality service and its scanning services conform to BIP 0008. This means that all scanned images are legally admissible in court and to bodies such as the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise.

You can therefore rest-assured that our scanned versions of essential documents such as those containing signatures, financial information and contracts etc, will all be as acceptable as the original hard copies.

In fact, once you have converted vital documentation to electronic format nobody can walk off with a file or put it back in the wrong place as with hard copy systems.

You can also restrict access to sensitive information by allocating user names and passwords only to those with a genuine need for the data.
