Introduction - ASP Solutions
As an Application Service Provider (ASP), IMS provides a contract service from our facilities to store, host and manage access to electronic document images.
The hosted images are created as different services such as document imaging services and the processing print files
are being performed at IMS. Our document imaging service center scans documents and converts them to electronic images. The images are indexed to facilitate their retrieval and hosted on a secure server. Electronic images are also created as we process data for high speed laser printing & mailing for our customers. We also process customer’s print files to a COLD/ERM image format. Whatever the format, our hosting services offer you dynamic access to scanned paper documents and print data.
The most common image format requested for retrieval is a Portable Document Format (PDF) since it does not require a proprietary viewer to see the images. You retrieve the images from our servers using your a Web browser. Our hosting software controls access to the servers and images. Monthly management reports are generated for you that include what and how many records are stored, how many were retrieved and by whom. Access to the hosted documents is made through the Internet or a dedicated line.
We specialize in efficiently creating high volumes of images at value prices. Unlike many ASPs, IMS does not require high up-front charges to begin storage and hosting. And our ASP services offer more than just storage. Not only do you have fast dynamic access to your images, they are also copied onto read-only optical discs giving you additional archive assurance.
