History
The origins of microMEDIA extend back to 1939 when a small typewriter repair company was established in Long Island. The company sold electric typewriters and office machines. In 1975 a subsidiary was incorporated to offer document conversion services under the name microMEDIA.
The current ownership acquired microMEDIA in 1980 and extended the sales area into Manhattan, New Jersey and Connecticut. Major brokerage firms, insurance companies and pharmaceutical houses became clients. Microfilm index files were put on computer databases, speeding the retrieval of documents from microfilm.
Electronic Imaging
microMEDIA was one of the first document conversion services companies to embrace electronic imaging. In 1987, the company began marketing image conversion services.
Our conversion client base has now expanded on a national scale. We pride ourselves on being in the forefront using leading-edge technologies and communications media. Our high speed communication lines, multiple redundant Internet servers and direct client transmission supplement multiple websites. We transmit electronic images off-shore on a daily basis and can convert and index documents within hours of receipt.
Today our services include scanning of paper files, books, engineering drawings, fragile archival documents and the conversion of microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards to digital form. Document conversion isn't just scanning. It includes indexing each item for simple or complex search and retrieval. We frequently integrate our deliverables with imaging and workflow systems.
