State of Michigan selects Graphic Sciences, Inc. for Digital Conversion Services

Graphic Sciences, Inc. has been selected by the State of Michigan, Department of Management and Budget to provide conversion services for departments and agencies of State government that may have the need to convert paper or microfilm based information to digital images. As the demand for digital information systems has increased, the need to manage the conversion processes became evident.

The State of Michigan, Department of Management and Budget solicited responses from selected vendors to provide digital conversion services that may be used by departments and agencies within the State who have a qualified need for such services. The contract calls for the selected vendor to be in a position to convert virtually any paper based document from a note size page to a full size engineering drawing to standardized digital images. Additionally, the selected vendor must be capable of converting various microforms to digital images and be able to provide indexing services for the images.

This is the first time the State has entered into a long-term agreement with any supplier to provide these specific conversion services.

Based on the quality of the responses and the pricing offered to the State, Graphic Sciences, Inc. was awarded the contract. The term of the contract is three years with the possibility of two one-year extensions. In this period of time it is believed that many State agencies and departments will use the services offered in this contract and incorporate digital imaging solutions as a part of their day-to-day business operations.

Graphic Sciences, Inc. is a Royal Oak based company that has served the information and image management industry for over a quarter of a century.
