In House Scanning

Home or away?
Thanks to the proliferation of some very clever Multi Function Devices, more and more businesses are starting to scan or even take their scanning requirements in house.

So is it worth doing?

In some instances, most definitely, yes. Surprised that a scanning bureau would agree to such a thing? Don't be. After all, it does make sense for some firms, normally those scanning a small and regular amount. But..

Done your sums?
Sounds obvious but there are hidden costs with taking your scanning in house: the time taken for staff to physically be away from their desk at the MFD, for one. The learning curve (which can be very steep) and of course the downtime if it goes wrong. Do you have a continuity plan in place for that? And how will you get over the backlog if it's out of order for a few days?

Some of the scenarios may seem petty but if you come to depend on the systems you have in place, it's anything but if it all goes wrong.
