The Datamation Microfilm & Microfiche Conversion Process

  1. We’ll collect your microfiche jackets, microfilm rolls, COM fiche, and aperture cards.
  2. Then we’ll scan, OCR (optical character recognition), and index them at our secure facility.
  3. We will accurately convert your document images to PDF, TIFF, or any other file format.
  4. Finally, we’ll upload or distribute the corresponding digital files in any format of your choosing—making those old personnel records, payroll records,
    medical records, and drawings instantly accessible.

Why Should I Convert My Microfiche and Microfilm to Digital Files?

Despite claims that microfiche and microfilm have a shelf life of up to 500 years, that hasn’t been the case. These media types start to decay even in the best of climate-controlled environments.

So check in on your film and fiche. Do you notice any:

  • Measles/blemishes
  • Vinegar smell
  • Brittleness
  • Stickiness
  • Fungus

If so, then you really need to consider digitizing these records before the decay makes it impossible to do so.

Penetration Testing

Unlike most of the leading cybersecurity products, our penetration tests are not generalized and automated. Every single penetration test is distinctly unique to the network and environment.

Our security experts don’t just simulate tactics and techniques of real-world attackers. We become the attackers, delving into your network to find and report the weaknesses in your security stack.

  1. PLANNING: Gathering information, customer goals are engaged, and information is provided to the organization.
  2. RECONNAISSANCE: Identifying additional information that may have been overlooked, unknown or not provided.
  3. SCANNING: Perform scanning and enumeration to identify potential vulnerabilities, risk areas and exploits.
  4. ATTACK: After confirming the vulnerabilities through the exploitation phase and performing additional attempts to steal data, intercepting traffic, and escalating privileges to understand the damage a hacker can cause.
  5. REPORTING: Document all found vulnerabilities, exploits, failed attempts, company strengths and weaknesses.
