None! We’ll bring all the necessary equipment, from scanners and printers, to labels and boxes. You don’t need to worry about supplying your own.
We can adjust our team size and equipment based on the space you have available. Our team can also split tasks into groups in order to utilize smaller spaces.
If we’re scanning on-site at your facility, it depends on how much space is available and how large of a team we can bring. Whether on-site or off-site scanning, project length is also dependent on how many records need to be converted.
Our team will find and retrieve any file you need. Once you’re finished, we’ll refile it for you.

Our team of in-house experts have extensive experience working with some of the country’s biggest healthcare providers in managing the entire organizations’ digitization efforts. In part, this fruitful relationship has come from the confidence and trust our healthcare clients have in our team being HIPAA compliant, staying atop of new information governance regulations, and simply by being available to answer any digital transformation questions, even for the most regulated industries, like healthcare!

When working with law firms and even legal departments within a company, we deal with a lot of highly classified, sensitive information. Our approach takes the trouble out of having to deal with multiple information-regulating entities by having our staff remain certified and in compliance with the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure as mandated by the U.S. Courts. This allows for peace of mind when a case evolves into information discovery, security details, document retention schedules and everything litigation.
Anna Stratton, Director of Information Management Services at Bradford Digital, implemented a CJIS compliant, digital onsite scanning and digitization project of all criminal history record jackets for the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP). Through the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP), the NSP received $1.2 million in grant money to complete the project.
There was no room for error on this project due to the confidentiality of the data, and the NSP wanted a digitization and scanning team that could do the job without errors. Since the NSP didn’t have much experience with document scanning, they wanted to be sure that the chosen team would be able to guide them and answer any questions they had — and even answer questions they didn’t know to ask.
With a staff of 25 members, all of which were certified CJIS compliant, Anna’s team developed a unique training program for the identification of over 14 document types (i.e., fingerprints, supporting documentation, rap 11/14/2017 Criminal History Record Jacket Scanning & Digitization Nebraska State Patrol sheets, pardons, dispositions, etc.). The scanning team matched documents that related to specific arrest dates that allowed officers to see a complete criminal history instantly.
Biohazard records also needed to be scanned in a safe and OSHA-compliant manner, so the team utilized CJIS controls combined with a high-security chain of custody and provided tracking for every file that moved from one task to another. Not just some files — all of them. To further ensure maximum security, a closed on-site CJIS compliant network was set up. Every staff member completed full fingerprint background checks and CJIS training.
By the completion of the project, over 300K files and an estimated 6 million images were scanned on-site in high-quality color. The scanners and scanning technology integrated with the NSP’s existing electronic document management system to further save time. The scanning team also rebuilt and secured paper files with security tape for future destruction.
The project was a huge success & the NSP continues to benefit from it today.
