ASP Service Bureau Offering
It is widely agreed upon by management consultants that within the next 10 to 15 years 90% of white-collar jobs in the U.S. will most likely change beyond recognition. One of the five major trends driving this predicted change is Outsourcing. Using the services of an Applications Service Provider (ASP) to support an organization's data processing, or document management requirements delivers a wide range of important and strategic benefits.
Predictable Costs
Pay for what services are needed or actually used; organizations are able to implement a solution for a fixed monthly fee. Standard Data Corporation's ASP solutions can be implemented without the long, drawn out process of obtaining capital spending approvals. With an externally sourced solution, the cost is a budgeted monthly expense, which helps predict department costs.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
In our outsourcing model, set-up and operating costs rest with us. Organizations are finding that they can reduce IT costs from 20% to 40% by outsourcing as opposed to running the job responsibilities internally.
Fast and Simple Implementation
SDC can set up a new customer with outsourced services in a relatively short timeframe. The reason: the hardware, software, networking infrastructure, and expert staff are already in place. We simply plug new clients into our existing system, customize to fit the requirements and they are up and running.
Leverage Application Expertise
As an ASP, we at SDC are experts in the applications we host and support. Unlike an internal IT staff, which is often asked to support a variety of often complex business applications, our staff is highly trained in the systems and applications that deliver our services. Additionally, outsourcing helps organizations deal with the struggles of hiring, training, and retaining skilled IT staffs.
Faster, Simpler Application Upgrades Centralizing application administration in a single location means that SDC's clients need not worry about purchasing or installing software upgrade releases. We purchase and implement new releases for our customers after thoroughly testing them.

SDC offers data entry services for all types of forms including:
- paper lists
- survey results
- enrollment data
- business reply cards
- medical claim forms
- warranty cards
- invoices
- electronic transmission of images.
We can manually capture data from image and paper, or capture the data through automated forms processing using optical character recognition and mark-sensed recognition.
SDC is highly customer-centric. And, our offshore capabilities put us a notch up on pricing, quality, and turn-around time. By utilizing sophisticated production analysis reporting, document and image controls, key verification, statistical quality controls, and our custom document tracking system, Standard Data Corporation guarantees the reliability and integrity of all client data.
Standard Data Corporation currently has four data capture locations: two domestic (Ewing, NJ and Farmingdale, NY), and two offshore (Jamaica W.I. and Hyderabad, India). The professionals in each location are cross-trained to address disaster recovery or unexpected surges in volume. Through this enablement, we can consistently meet turnaround times in both the image and paper environment.
Experienced domestic project management specialists monitor our offshore facilities. Our pricing is considered to be highly competitive in the industry. SDC adheres to the data security standard for maintaining data security and privacy in accordance with ISO 17799.
Standard Data Corporation's Image Processing Center (IPC), located in Ewing, NJ, provides high volume scanning services for millions of documents each year.
Scanning and Imaging Services include:
- ASP Image Hosting
- Backfile Conversion
- Forms Processing
- Data Capture
There are three main objectives to information capture:
- Capture digitized images of documents, forms, drawings or pictures and sufficient ASCII information (indexes) to retrieve them.
- Capture the data content of the documents or forms for data manipulation
- Capture both 1 & 2 By converting paper to electronic format, scanners are capable of capturing data via:
- optical mark (OMR)
- optical character (OCR)
- intelligent character (ICR)
- and barcode recognition.
In addition, the IPC can scan single or double-sided documents of many sizes and characteristics. Depending on the type of documents to be scanned for a particular job, SDC will utilize an array of Kodak, Siemens, Panasonic, and/or Fujitsu scanners to meet the specifics project requirements. Images and data can be transmitted to other SDC locations for additional processing over our WAN.
Based on the objectives above, information capture projects fall into three categories:
1. One-Time Batch Packets
Generally, the objective of this type of project is to capture images of documents and/or pictures and/or data associated with some document archive. These projects are usually associated with a day-forward solution for either capturing the ongoing information as either images of documents and/or pictures or computer generated documents. These projects are commonly referred to as backfile conversions.
The goal of these projects is to eliminate the entire physical archive by capturing the images of the documents. Examples of this type are:
- Invoice Records
- Library Archives
- Court Archives
- Police Records
- Human Resources - personnel records
2. Seasonal transaction packets
These projects involve the periodic capture of images and/or data from business forms. The typical objective of this type of project is to aggregate the data from the batch for information or statistical analysis.
Examples of this type are:
- Market Research Surveys
- Quarterly Financial Statements
- Cyclical Inventory Processes
3. On-Going Daily Transactions
Generally, this type of project is associated with processes that require that the capture and distribution of the resultant transaction data be as close to real time as possible. The capture solution is normally a component in a wider workflow solution. These activities are normally referred to as forms processing projects.
Examples of this type are:
- Continuous Marketing Promotions
- Information capture that requires immediate attention - Accounts Payable transactions.
- Transportation Bills
- Medical Claims (HCFA, etc.)
- Educational Test Documents
With the increasing interest in imaging and image-based workflow solutions, there is a very large body of emerging work to support archive image conversion associated with day-forward solutions. Standard Data Corporation is a natural candidate for this type of work since typically there is a need for significantly larger processing capacity than that afforded by the day forward equipment and labor configuration.
At our Image Processing Center, SDC provides high volume scanning services that include storage and retrieval of images, data capture via optical mark, optical character, intelligent character and bar code recognition.
Electronic Imaging is one of the most revolutionary technologies available today. Imaging eliminates the backlog sometimes caused by serial processing. Document imaging allows for parallel processing so that more than one user can have access to a pertinent document. At the same time, our imaging methodology helps to facilitate a "paperless" office environment that improves workflow. Standard Data Corporation's image processing software and services eliminates repetitive paper handling and storage by using scanners to digitize and convert documents and images to computer data. Documents and Images are electronically stored and are available for immediate retrieval by a system user.
What makes us unique is our ability through years of experience to select the best possible solution to meet the needs of our clients. With over 150 data capture stations operating on two shifts, we perform DATA ENTRY on all types of forms including:
- paper lists
- survey results
- enrollment data
- business reply cards
- medical claim forms
- electronic transmission of images.
We capture the data from image and paper manually or capture the data through automated forms processing, using optical character recognition and mark sensed recognition.
Because of our customer-focused attitude and offshore capabilities, few service bureaus can compete with the quality, speed, and cost of Standard Data manual data entry, keying both from image and paper. By utilizing production analysis reports, document and image controls, key verification, statistical quality controls and our custom document tracking system, Standard Data guarantees the reliability and integrity of our clients' data.
As automated forms processing technologies improve, SDC can, with minimal manual intervention, dramatically reduce the cost of data capture. Our experienced programmers work in partnership with our clients to design automated processing friendly forms. Through these new technologies SDC can offer short turnaround with offshore prices.
Standard Data currently has four data capture locations, two domestic (Ewing, NJ and Farmingdale, NY) and two offshore (Jamaica, W.I. and Hyderabad, India). The operators in each location are cross-trained to act as emergency backup in case of disaster recovery or unexpected surges in volume. This enables us to consistently meet turnaround times in both the image and paper environment. Our offshore facility is monitored by project management domestically. We can receive a wide variety of documents via hard copy or images created from the client's site.
Pricing is driven by volume, turnaround, characters per record, clerical and special keying instructions.
