Scanning & Conversion
Transforming paper documents into secure, searchable digital files.

Document conversion is often the starting point for digital transformation. By transforming paper and legacy records into structured digital information, organizations create the foundation for automation, compliance, and secure collaboration.
Scan-to-Zero is especially well-suited for organizations with long-term digitization goals that need a cost-conscious, phased approach to document conversion—making it easier to plan, budget, and move forward over time.
IMR Digital, a division of KDI Office Technology, specializes in secure document conversion and large-scale digitization services that help organizations transition from paper-based processes to modern digital workflows.
Who Benefits from Document Conversion Services?
Organizations partner with KDI and IMR Digital for document conversion services when they need to:
- Digitize large backfile archives
- Replace paper-based workflows
- Meet compliance or retention requirements
- Improve access to historical or operational records

Many organizations begin their digital transformation journey with document conversion — creating the digital foundation needed for automation, compliance, and modern information management. Once documents are digitized, organizations can streamline workflows through Business Process Automation, implement Enterprise Content Management to improve visibility and compliance, and modernize how incoming information is routed with Mailroom & Intake Automation.
This foundation can be further strengthened through Managed Print Services, improving document capture, security, and workflow consistency from the moment information enters the business.
How Document Conversion Fits Your Digital Transformation Journey
Once information is digitized and structured, organizations can begin improving workflows, visibility, and long-term information management across the business.
Document conversion connects directly with:
- Enterprise Content Management — Organize and control digitized information across the organization.
- Business Process Automation — Enable automated workflows, approvals, and data processing.
- Mailroom & Intake Automation — Digitize, route, and organize incoming documents and information.
Together, these solutions create a connected information lifecycle—from capture and digitization to automation, security, and long-term management.
Why Digitize Your Documents?
Digitizing your documents does more than reduce paper clutter—it gives your organization secure, searchable access to the information you need, whether you’re in the office or working remotely.
✔ Improve searchability and access
✔ Reduce storage costs and physical space needs
✔ Meet compliance and retention requirements
✔ Enable secure remote collaboration
✔ Protect critical records from loss or damage
Whether you’re digitizing backfile archives or integrating scanning into ongoing workflows, we make the process seamless.
Digitization is only the first step. Once information becomes structured and searchable, organizations can begin connecting workflows, automation, and long-term information management.
This structured digital foundation enables downstream solutions like Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Automation—allowing information to move seamlessly across your organization.
A Smarter Way to Go Paperless: Scan-to-Zero
For many organizations, the biggest barrier to digitization isn’t technology—it’s volume.
Years of stored paper, offsite boxes, and legacy files can make full-scale scanning feel overwhelming. That’s why KDI offers Scan-to-Zero, a flexible, budget-friendly approach to document conversion.
Instead of scanning everything at once, Scan-to-Zero allows you to digitize documents gradually while continuing day-to-day operations.
How Scan-to-Zero Works:
-
Ongoing monthly scanning based on your volume and priorities
-
Secure digitization and indexing of documents
-
Optional destruction of paper files after conversion
-
Reduced storage costs over time
-
Digital files ready for use with any document management system
This approach allows organizations to eliminate paper at a manageable pace—without disrupting workflows or requiring a major upfront investment.
Over time, your physical files are reduced to zero, replaced with secure, searchable digital records.
