Electronic document imaging can improve land records management
- Cisco and Associates, Austin, TX (United States)
Electronic document imaging can streamline land records management, giving oil companies faster, more accurate, and more reliable access to millions of records. These imaging systems can preserve deteriorating files and facilitate recovery from disasters like flooding or fire. Other benefits include the elimination of unnecessary records, easier duplication of necessary records, and reduced storage costs. Land records are a large volume of a company's overall collection of documents, and storing paper records takes up much of a company's premises or requires off-site storage at commercial facilities. Cisco and Associates surveyed 15 upstream petroleum companies to investigate how they manage active and inactive land records. The companies surveyed are either considering or in the process of redesigning their land administration departments. This paper discusses advantages and disadvantages of electronic imaging systems and results from the survey.
