Yes, Laserfiche takes the headache out of dealing with scanned documents. Instead of sitting as static images, files are processed with OCR, so the text becomes usable and searchable. Add in custom templates and metadata, and suddenly even scanned invoices or contracts are easy to organize, tag, and retrieve whenever you need them. The data from a scanned document can also be used to drive a workflow or kick off a business process.

Many of our clients come to us with decades of paper records and boxes stacked to the ceiling. For them, searching for documents was a slow and stressful process. However, after we scanned and indexed those documents in Laserfiche, staff could instantly pull up what they needed, whether it was a 10-year-old contract or last week’s invoice. What used to take hours of digging now takes seconds, and their team has reclaimed both time and space.

This kind of large-scale scanning project is called backfile conversion—the process of turning years of paper records into fully searchable digital files. The real magic of backfile conversion is less about getting rid of paper and more about unlocking the powerful data from the document. At CPS, we’re experts at handling backfile conversion projects of all sizes, from a few cabinets to entire warehouses. We not only scan and process the documents, but also design the metadata and indexing so they integrate seamlessly into Laserfiche. With decades of experience, we make sure backfile conversions don’t just digitize paper; they create a trusted, efficient system clients can rely on long-term.
