An early conversation prevents organisations from spending time on assumptions that later turn out not to fit the material, privacy requirements or desired output.

Discuss your archive, collection, file environment or information question with 2dA
Would you like to explore which approach best fits your organisation? 2dA is happy to think along about digitisation, restoration, scanning on demand, archive storage, metadata, e-depot preparation, process support and AI on your own data. In such an initial exploration, restorers, archivists, junior archivists, ICT specialists and programmers can all help assess what your situation requires.
Quick first exploration
Complex questions welcome
From intake to route
What you can contact us about
More than a stand-alone scanning question
You can contact us about digitisation, restoration, archive processing, metadata, scanning on demand, bulk processing, storage, privacy questions, e-depot preparation, AI services and local AI solutions.
How we begin
A first inventory quickly creates direction
We usually start with a short exploration of material, volumes, goals, users, sensitivities and the desired delivery. That quickly creates a first picture of the smartest next step. Because 2dA brings several disciplines together in-house, we can test early on what the best route is in substantive, technical and organisational terms.
Many trajectories touch multiple disciplines at once, such as restoration plus digitisation, or scanning on demand plus metadata and privacy.
The intake is meant to move from question to direction: which route is logical, what is needed first and how do we make it workable?
Why this helps
Many choices are already connected early on
Planning, privacy, quality, retention periods, file structure, metadata, retrieval workflows and eventual use goals all influence each other. That is why it helps to look at a question together at an early stage.
This creates faster clarity about feasibility, direction, risks and the best first step.
What to expect
Not a standard sales conversation, but a substantive first exploration
In a first contact moment, 2dA mainly looks at what needs to work afterwards: in governance, retrieval, storage, digital accessibility, e-depot or further enrichment with AI. Restorers, archivists, junior archivists, ICT specialists and programmers can help sharpen that question quickly from their own perspective.
Which questions fit a first conversation well?
- I want to digitise an archive or file environment
- I am looking for scanning on demand or support for retrieval workflows
- I have fragile material that needs restoration or preparatory treatment
- I need to improve metadata, description or findability
- I want to prepare information for e-depot or transfer
- I want to use AI safely on my own data
- I am looking for support with storage, retrieval or digital accessibility
Even if you do not yet know exactly which service fits, a first conversation is often the best way to choose direction.

Please feel free to get in touch for a first exploration, a concrete project question or a challenge in which multiple disciplines come together.
Choose the route that is closest to your question
- I want to digitise an archive
- I work with fragile heritage or special collections
- I want better control over business archives and administrative series
- I want to organise a scanning-on-demand service
- I want digitisation on location or in my own scan environment
- I want to use AI safely on my own data
This allows you to move directly to the page that best fits your question.
Also when your question spans several disciplines
Many trajectories do not fit into a single box. You may have fragile material that first needs restoration. Or a scanning-on-demand process that also affects metadata, privacy and administration. Or a business archive that is partly processed centrally and partly handled with your own equipment.
- restoration + digitisation
- scanning on demand + metadata + privacy
- archive processing + e-depot preparation
- storage + retrieval + AI on your own data
It is exactly in these combinations that a first conversation becomes valuable, because 2dA can immediately think along about the smartest coherent route.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about contact and intake
Do I already need to know exactly which service I need?
No. The first conversation is meant to help determine which route best fits your material, workflow and goal.
Can I also contact you with a combined question?
Yes. Many questions touch several disciplines at once. 2dA helps turn that into one logical approach.
Is contact only meant for large trajectories?
No. Smaller or exploratory questions can also be a good starting point for a suitable first step or pilot.

Next step
Why this works
A good first conversation speeds up the route from question to workable solution
By looking early at material, risk, metadata, retrieval, storage, privacy and the desired digital outcome, 2dA helps organisations determine faster which approach fits and which combination of services belongs to it.
