Kodak’s Perfect Page Technology and KODAK Service and Support Drive Kodak’s Document Conversion Center Scanning Services Program

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 5—A rising number of businesses are relying on professional service bureaus to help manage the exponential growth of their records and critical documents. To assist with this demand, Kodak launches its Document Conversion Center Scanning Services Program to help service bureaus deliver consistent imaging quality and results when scanning their clients’ critical records and information.

Customers of the new program have access to Kodak’s market leading service and support and broad portfolio of document capture technologies, utilizing Kodak’s Perfect Page Technology and KODAK Service and Support to ensure reliable systems that consistently provide optimal image quality and accuracy. Perfect Page Technology integrates the process of rendering and managing colors, tones and shades while also improving the detail and clarity of text and images. These enhancements are applied immediately during image capture/scanning and deliver high quality images to applications where documents vary in structure and format such as  medical records, institutional applications, accounts payable, and other business and government documents. In addition, a number of service bureaus participating in the program offer archival storage services via Kodak’s micrographics products.   

“Kodak’s program has established a standard of image quality for our company that provides us with the strongest guarantee to customers that they will be receiving the document scanning results required to improve access, readability and decision making from digital images used in their business processes,” said Dick Aschman, CEO of DataBank IMX, the first service bureau to participate in the program. “Kodak’s image capture quality and processing technology, such as Perfect Page, allows us to quickly capture our client’s information securely and accurately. Kodak’s program is attractive because it complements the quality standard we require in delivering results to our clients.”

DataBank is national full service provider of document imaging and scanning across a range of markets, such as healthcare, education, government, finance and shared services. Databank has nine production centers using KODAK Scanners with Perfect Page Technology serviced by Kodak across the United States. DataBank’s conversion centers process a billion images a year. Their participation in this program with Kodak will provide the service bureau with a program to help manage the image capture processes required in DataBank’s core business.

“Kodak’s Perfect Page Technology can provide scanned images that are better than the hard copy original documents,” said Don McMahan, Vice President Sales and Regional Business Manager, United States & Canada, Document Imaging, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “Working with images of this standard makes it easier to organize information and make it usable in meeting business goals, government reporting demands, and industry regulations. We are pleased to have a renowned company like DataBank IMX as our first service bureau program member.”

Participating service bureaus of the Document Conversion Center Scanning Services Program, in addition to delivering outstanding image quality to their clients, also have the opportunity to receive marketing support as well as financial incentives on purchased document scanners, accessories and consumables from Kodak.
