Piql provides services for restoring, digitising and safeguarding your irreplaceable data. As a specialist provider of newspaper digitisation, Piql can offer a complete solution ensur- ing high quality digitisation, long-term storage and guaranteed accessibility.

THE CHALLENGE

BENEFITS

Newspaper archives typically contain large volumes of paper in varying and unconventional formats. This can create a significant digitisation challenge when combined with detailed quality specifications and short project time- lines. Each project can include digitisation of millions of pages at a time. Daily deliverables can be as high as tens of thousands of pages, while ensuring accurate scanning, precise metadata capture and conversion of images into specified formats (such as Jpeg 2000 or TIP). This demands a project manage- ment approach and customised workflow, ensuring that client needs are met while delivering a cost-effective project on time.

• Optimised searchability of all your data. • Handling of the newspaper is minimised, reducing the risk of loss, misuse and deterioration.

• Real estate is no longer required for paper storage.

• Easy access to all historic editions and publications. • New opportunities for data re-use and re-purposing.
