File structure, order and context need to remain visible in the digital result.
Digitising files
Digitising files while preserving order, context and privacy
Files rarely consist of loose pages. They have order, context, retention periods and often sensitive content. That is why digitising files requires more than fast scanning. 2dA looks at file structure, metadata, privacy and the way information will need to be used later inside your organisation.

Use case
From filing cabinet to practical access
People are not looking for a random scan later, but for coherent information. That is why the file logic needs to remain intact.
Risks
Structure, selection and privacy belong together
Up front it needs to be clear what belongs together, what is privacy-sensitive, which metadata are needed and how the output must fit the workflow.
In many environments anonymisation is not a separate step afterwards, but part of the workflow.
The delivery has to support daily consultation and internal workflows.
Delivery that works immediately
The digital delivery is aligned with the way files will be used later. That may mean metadata at file level, OCR where it adds value, anonymisation as part of the process, or naming and file structures that connect carefully to existing systems and work agreements.
What 2dA pays attention to
2dA safeguards logical file structure, careful handling of sensitive information, metadata that makes retrieval easier and output that is directly usable in practice.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about digitising files
Why does this require more than regular scanning?
Because order, context, metadata and privacy often determine whether the result will be useful later.
When does anonymisation belong in the process?
In many file environments it is an integral part of the workflow, not something reserved only for the very end.
Would you like to digitise files without losing coherence?
2dA helps you keep file structure, metadata, privacy and digital delivery logically connected.
Why this works
Files only become digitally usable when coherence and privacy are included from the start
By organising scanning, structure and protection as one route, 2dA makes files easier to consult and better controlled.
