- Physical & Environmental Safeguards: Advanced fire suppression systems, climate control, and comprehensive physical security (biometric access, 24/7 surveillance) safeguard both your physical documents during transport/prep and your digital data storage infrastructure.

Corrigan’s Seamless Document Scanning Process
Our comprehensive, five-step process is designed for maximum efficiency, accuracy, and security to deliver the best document scanning services experience in Michigan, moving you from a paper-heavy past to a secure digital future with minimal disruption to your operations:
- In-Depth Consultation and Assessment: We begin by assessing your current document management system, identifying pain points, and establishing clear goals (e.g., specific file types, required resolution, digital folder structure). We recommend the best document scanning approach, considering your specific goals, budget, and timeline. This phase determines file prep requirements, indexing needs, and the optimal storage solution (cloud or on-site server).
- Secure Pickup and Document Preparation: We securely transport your documents to our certified facility using GPS-tracked, bonded vehicles. Our trained personnel then carefully prepare your documents for scanning, ensuring proper organization and indexing accuracy. This critical preparation includes removing staples, paperclips, sticky notes, and repairing damaged or torn pages to guarantee a clean, high-quality scan.
- High-Quality Scanning and Indexing: We use industry-leading, advanced scanners like the high-speed Kodak i5850S, known for its rapid throughput and exceptional image quality, and the specialized Bookeye 5 V2 Overhead Scanner for delicate and large format documents (blueprints, maps). Crucially, we implement OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition), powered by industry-leading software like ABBYY FineReader, which converts every scanned image into fully searchable, editable text with high accuracy, making information retrieval instantaneous.
- Secure Storage & Digital Access: Your new digital files are organized according to the agreed-upon folder structure and stored in our secure, cloud-based environment. This system is accessible anytime, anywhere, with robust access controls and user permissions to safeguard your data. We provide a powerful, intuitive document management system interface designed for easy search, retrieval, and sharing.
- Ongoing Support and Final Document Disposition: We offer ongoing assistance with digital document management and retrieval post-project. This includes training and resources to empower your team to effectively utilize your new digital archive. Once the project is complete, we provide certified, secure destruction of the physical records (if requested), ensuring a complete and compliant lifecycle for your documents.
