Less risk, less operational pressure and faster answers for citizens, customers, researchers and internal users.
Digital source data
The value is not the scan itself, but information that remains usable afterwards
Archives, files, books, registers, drawings and mail flows become valuable when they are reliable, searchable, controlled and deliverable. 2dA helps organisations turn physical information into digital source data for management, retrieval, research, AI and internal systems.
Beyond digitisation
Image, text, metadata and context belong together
A scan without structure remains fragile. Value comes from capture quality, document boundaries, OCR/HTR, metadata, provenance and delivery.
Why 2dA
Archival expertise, restoration and software in one chain
Archivists, restoration specialists, IT specialists and developers are involved where that adds value. Digitisation becomes a controlled information process rather than a loose production step.
Better structure, metadata, retention logic, transfer readiness and system alignment.
A stronger basis for search, OCR, HTR, embeddings, AI assistants and data-driven analysis.
Why this step matters now
Many organisations hold information physically while its digital usability remains limited. At the same time, pressure grows around public access, service delivery, records management, heritage access, AI and internal efficiency.
Scanning solves the physical problem. Turning information into digital source data creates a foundation for findability, accountability, transfer and new applications.
What 2dA does differently
- start with purpose, material, risk, metadata and required output
- professional capture with quality control and document logic
- OCR and HTR where useful for findability and AI readiness
- an in-house software platform for status, workflow, delivery and hybrid support
- delivery into client environments, internal systems, portals or further processing
Client question first
Not: how many boxes? But: what should the information be able to do?
Does a citizen need a quick answer? Does an archive need to be transferred? Does a researcher need to search handwriting? Does an organisation want to use AI responsibly on its own documents? That question defines capture, description, control and delivery.
From project to process
Also suitable for structural flows
2dA supports projects, bulk production, scanning on demand and hybrid workflows where peak workloads can partly be handled by 2dA.

Send us the question, not just the volume
A photo of boxes, registers, drawings or files is often enough for a first conversation. We help define the right route: project, bulk, scanning on demand, substitution, metadata, AI-ready data or a hybrid process.
