Case Study: County of Lambton improves records access and frees office space with Image Advantage by Octacom

County of Lambton digitizes 500+ bankers’ boxes with Octacom

The County of Lambton, an upper-tier municipal government, faced the challenge of digitizing over 500 bankers' boxes of historical paper records to improve accessibility for on-site and remote staff. The project required a secure vendor with the expertise to handle documents of varying sizes and quality. Octacom, through its division Image Advantage, was selected as the digitization partner following a competitive bidding process.

Image Advantage provided a full-service solution that included secure document transportation, detailed preparation, scanning with OCR into searchable PDFs, and secure destruction of the physical records. As a result, the County of Lambton's staff can now instantly search for and access any record, valuable office space has been reclaimed, and the digital records are securely backed up to prevent loss.
