SCANNING AND
RECORDS MANAGEMENT
A well-structured records management program for physical and electronic records is essential to compliance and reducing risk. In today’s constantly-changing environment and escalating quantities of records, it is critical that records life-cycles are accurately tracked from creation to destruction.


Document Management
Bright Star helps you set up efficient and systematic control of your records. From creation and compliance, to final disposition, Bright Star gets you set up so you can quickly and easily access all information in your custody:
-
Establish an organizational structure for streamlining the life-cycle management of records.
-
Create strategies to migrate paper-driven processes to digital, resulting in simpler and more cost-effective processes, and a lot less paper.
-
Conduct a complete inventory of your records and determine retention dates.
-
Create and maintain records retention schedules to ensure compliance with regulating bodies such as NARA.
-
Develop appropriate security to protect records from damage, loss or unauthorized access.
-
Create policies and procedures for standardized records management in one department and location, or across multiple departments and locations.
-
Set up auditing methodologies to ensure compliance with policies and procedures.
Document Scanning
Offering both on-site or off-site scanning, we tailor our services to meet your needs. We will ensure you can efficiently and accurately scan all needed records and other documents, whether right in your office environment or at our secure Bright Star scanning center:
On-Site Scanning
We will set up and staff an in-house scanning function. Whether you are a small or large agency, we can set up everything from the equipment to the staff.
Off-Site Secure Scanning
We will pick up your records and bring them to our fully equipped, secure, high-volume scanning center to have each document scanned quickly and accurately.
We can scan anything from 300 to 600 dpi (and in some cases higher), from small Post-It™ notes to large architectural drawings, from 100 pages to millions of pages. Our veterans are experts at document scanning and ensure that your documents are accurately secured, prepped, scanned and converted into electronic images in any format you need (PDF, TIFF, etc.). Index information is accurately entered, and a file exported into txt, xml, xlsx, mdb, accdb, etc.
