Services

Services that together form one logical route from physical archives to digitally usable information

2dA does not deliver isolated partial solutions, but services that connect to each other: from restoration and archive processing to scanning, metadata, storage, process support, e-depot preparation and AI on your own data. That happens within one organisation that brings together restorers, archivists, junior archivists, ICT specialists and programmers.

Why this matters

Start with the information chain, not just the technology

A scan file on its own rarely solves the real problem. Only when preparation, digitisation, metadata, privacy, storage and access align does an information environment start to truly work.

What 2dA adds

One partner for execution, content and technology

2dA combines archival knowledge, scanning and production capacity, software, platform expertise and AI support in one organisation. Restorers, archivists, junior archivists, ICT specialists and programmers therefore do not look sequentially, but jointly at the same route. That keeps routes from getting stuck in separate links.

From start to finish

From restoration and archive processing to delivery, storage, e-depot readiness and AI readiness.

For complex environments

Suitable for archives, heritage, municipalities, water authorities, notaries, law firms and file-intensive organisations.

Practical execution

No abstract consultancy, but routes that are scalable, controllable and workable in day-to-day practice.

The red line

A service is only good when the result is genuinely usable afterwards

That is why 2dA looks not only at scanning or processing, but also at ordering, metadata, privacy, sustainable accessibility, process support and the way information is later consulted, transferred or used for AI. Because archivists, restorers and technical specialists can review that together, the assessment stays both substantive and practical.

This coherence is what makes the difference between a loose delivery and a workable digital information source.

How this works

Services connect to each other instead of existing side by side

A heritage route can start with restoration and continue into high-quality digitisation and metadata. A file-intensive environment can start with scanning on demand, archive processing or anonymisation and then build further towards storage, retrieval or local AI.

Which services often belong together?

In practice, services rarely appear in isolation. Many routes combine several steps.

  • archive processing + digitisation + metadata
  • restoration + heritage digitisation + sustainable accessibility
  • scanning on demand + retrieval processes + storage
  • anonymisation + file digitisation + local AI
  • bulk digitisation + description backlogs + e-depot preparation

That is why 2dA works from coherence rather than from a loose product list.

Three execution models

Not every project has to run in the same place. 2dA can work from its own scanning lines, on site with the customer or in a hybrid form in which the customer scans and 2dA supports setup, quality control, metadata and follow-up steps.

  • central processing within 2dA
  • execution on site
  • hybrid collaboration with your own scanning environment or platform

This allows services to align with logistics, privacy, capacity and the degree of control you want to keep in-house.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about services and routes

Does 2dA only deliver scanning work?

No. 2dA also delivers archive processing, metadata, restoration, scanning on demand, storage, process support, e-depot preparation and AI solutions on your own data.

Can one route combine multiple services?

Yes. That is often the strongest route, because preparation, processing, access and digital usability can then be aligned with each other.

Can 2dA also help if an organisation already has its own environment?

Yes. 2dA can also support existing scanning lines, platforms, retrieval processes and local data and AI environments.

Would you like to determine which combination of services fits best?

We are happy to help you choose which route is logical for your archive, collection, file environment or information challenge, and which service combination supports that best.

Why this works

Services only gain value when together they form a workable information chain

2dA connects restoration, archive processing, digitisation, metadata, storage, process support and AI not as separate products, but as one continuous route from physical material to sustainably usable digital information.
