Scanning as a Solution for K-12 Records Retention
The need to manage traditional paper records while also adapting to advances in document management technology can be a challenge for education professionals. Educators end up caught in the middle - required to navigate an antiquated analog system and an ever-evolving electronic records management platform. Document scanning can help your institution eliminate the large backfiles of student and faculty records that are holding you back so that you can focus on what matters most - education.

Comply with Records Retention Guidelines
Many of the paper files schools handle, such as transcripts, are permanent records and must be kept indefinitely. Over the years these permanent records add up to warehouses of boxes that are difficult to access and expensive to store. Converting these historical records to a digital format can help you comply with records retention guidelines while also saving you money.
Compliance & Information Security Made Simple
Student and faculty records typically contain personally identifiable information (PII). They can also contain protected health information (PHI) in the case of immunization records or medical waivers. It's vitally important that this information is protected and handled with care. DOMA's scanning team and help you with a compliant and secure solution for both document scanning and day forward access.
