Steve Morin, Allied Images' managing director, said: "The launch of SmartLF is likely to have a considerable impact on the market by creating opportunities for customers who previously were prohibited from owning a scanner due to high prices.
We believe SmartLF will significantly increase the size of the scanner market in the UK and greatly broaden the customer base." Mallon Technology, GIS consultants and software developers, has also just launched Diamond Digital Data Management.
Having invested in a full range of scanning equipment for its Cookstown head office, Mallon Technology said that it can now scan documents up to A0 size, as well as microfiche slides, making it the only operation of its kind in the area.
The launch of the enterprise is believed to be an ideal way for the company to begin its 10th year in business.
Having started out locally as a small family business it now has offices in Dublin and it is aided by Invest Northern Ireland to export products and services Europe-wide.
Within its range of business units, Mallon Technology currently produces the Diamond Software Suite, a range used by local councils, as well as providing GIS data capture and conversion services throughout Ireland and Europe.
Managing director, Philip Mallon, explained: "The move in to scanning was a natural progression for the company.
We have already been successful in securing data management contracts with several ROI County Councils but hope to build our client-base in this area to include Northern Ireland businesses.
Digital storage is an inevitable step for anyone with large format documents, large volumes of paperwork, or even important historical records.
Documents are stored on DVD allowing more security, more office space, easy access and preserved quality." The company's newly-appointed scanning manager, David McQuillan, commented: "This specialised equipment will provide mid-Ulster businesses with a quick and cost-effective means of backing up their important paper documents.".
