Relying on paper and manual filing systems to organise educational information is both time-consuming and costly.
Simply scanning paper to create digital files is not the answer. Documents must be converted to an electronic format that makes the information stored within them useful. The Portable Document Format (PDF) has been accepted as a business and governmental IT standard for image file support. In spite of all the advantages PDF offers, many scanning solutions convert images into a proprietary format when placed on the desktop. Even if the file is not converted it's usefulness as a PDF file is extremely limited because the output of scanning devices consists of "Image Only" PDF files which don't have a text layer. As a result, they are a poor choice for managing information because they are not searchable.
