Digitization & Digitalization

Paper-to-pixel, then pixel-to-process.

We digitize legacy records and then digitalize the workflows that use them, OCR, classification, and the case-management systems that pick up where the file cabinet left off.

Approach

How we deliver it.

What we do

Digitization is the part everyone wants to skip. We don’t. Decades of paper records, scanned PDFs, and microfilm carry the institutional memory of regulated industries, and the workflow you replace it with only works if the source data is clean. We do both halves, the scanning, classification, and extraction; and the case management, search, and disposition system that uses it.

In practice

Engagements begin with a sample run: a few thousand documents, scanned and processed through our pipeline, to measure accuracy and per-page cost against the client’s own quality bar. Once that’s calibrated we scale to production, typically a Noida-based scanning floor for confidential records, paired with a cloud-hosted extraction pipeline. Classification models identify document type; extraction models pull entities; reviewers validate the low-confidence cases. The output flows into a searchable case-management system with role-based access, retention policies, and audit logging. Most engagements run nine to fourteen months across multiple repositories.

How we know

We’ve digitized state-department records, insurer archives, and corporate compliance files since 2012. ISO 27001 governs chain-of-custody for physical records, including transport, storage, and certified destruction once the digital record is verified. We work under non-disclosure agreements that cover the operations floor, not just the engineering team, the scanning operators are iBoss employees, not subcontractors.

Where this fits in Compound

A locate stage service.

Every iBoss engagement runs through the same four stages. Digitization & Digitalization sits in the Locate stage .

  1. 01

    Locate

    Understand the system, the constraints, the people.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architectures, contracts, runbooks. Decisions, not deliverables.

  3. 03

    Build

    Pods of senior engineers. Weekly demos against real data.

  4. 04

    Sustain

    SRE, runbooks, knowledge transfer. We hand it over or we run it.

MIS Reporting Digitization

Manual Excel MIS reporting was eating 96 to 120 hours a year and risking errors. We built a bot that pulls from Tally and generates standardised reports in under a minute, cutting monthly effort by 75%.
