SecureScan, the secure solution to future proofing council records.

SecureScan by FUJIFILM Business Innovation is a service that is making digitisation of physical records accessible for every council in Australia, delivering our best, most efficient scanning service for your council.

Councils must create and keep full and accurate records of their business. They must keep these records for as long as needed to meet regulatory, business and community requirements. And they must keep some records for ever as State archives.

One of the biggest challenges for councils and managing records is the storage and retrieval of physical records, which include many unconventional formats, including;

  • Wide format plans
  • Photographs
  • Microfiche & film
  • Building plans / Oversized property plans / A1 & A0
  • Residential and council building plans
  • Development applications
  • Historical bound and fragile books

Not only can these records take up considerable space, retrieving them for public access in compliance with The Freedom of Information Act 1982 can take considerable resource time.

Why digitise?

SecureScan by FUJFILM Business Innovation can securely digitise and index all of your council’s records to help streamline systems, allow for the destruction of physical records to free up space and make records more accessible to citizens by reducing the time it takes for staff to retrieve them. Our SecureScan service offers three accessible scanning solutions that could help your council”

  • make records more accessible and useable
  • allow for integration of records with existing or new business systems
  • free up physical storage
  • reduce management and access costs for the original physical records
  • preserve the integrity of original records by minimising use.

In addition, digitising council records also addresses these issues affecting management of sensitive, paper-based documents.

Disaster recovery
Without the ability to back-up paper records or store them digitally,
documents in storage are vulnerable to unforeseen damage — such as from a fire, flood, mould — where
their loss would be permanent.

Office recovery
Favouring more flexible, remote staff working arrangements, many councils are looking to reduce their office footprint. Storage of physical documents can take up significant, otherwise unrequired space.

Compliance
Compliance Without the ability to digitally track the age of a document, it’s extremely difficult to ensure compliance — such as when it’s necessary to destroy such a document after its regulatory timeframe is up.

Security
Although councils can be incredibly conscious of safeguarding their records, without digital authentication, there is a real risk of documents being mistakenly accessed or shared.

Access and storage
Traditional filing systems are costly and inaccessible – more so when using off-site services or for employees requiring access when working from home. Without a searchable, digital index, maintaining filing systems and finding a specific piece of information from a record — sometimes from decades ago — is incredibly time-consuming.
