Digiscribe relocates
Digiscribe has relocated from 6 Westchester Plaza to a 9,000-square-foot space at 150 Clearbrook Road in Elmsford, expanding overall production and office facilities by 75 percent.
The company cites “tremendous growth” of its outsourced document scanning services, which might be the result of clients”™ downsizing during the recession.
“We”™ve met with many companies who are renegotiating their leases or moving to a smaller space and who say, ”˜What do I do with all of these files?”™” said Mitch Taube, president of the document management and IT services company. “They”™re outsourcing that scanning to us. We have one company moving from Long Island to Texas that we”™re scanning four million pages for.”
The end of a 10-year lease at Westchester Plaza was the impetus for Digiscribe”™s move.
Its new Clearbrook Road offices are adjacent to the Elmsford Post Office.
“We do a lot of mailroom work and customers send documents to the post office annex,” Taube said. “The loading dock is now right next to our loading dock, so it”™s much more convenient for us.”
Taube has hired five to six additional full-time employees and completes major scanning jobs with the help of about 20 temporary workers.
“I think we”™re in the second tier of this recession and companies are looking at how to become more efficient,” Taube said, and cited document management and document scanning services as correlative. “I think when the recession first hit, the easiest thing to do was to look at the low-hanging fruit ”“ employee and labor cost.”
These days, Taube spends less time educating clients about a paperless office and more time talking efficiencies.
Recession-fueled bankruptcy filings have meant more business for some managers of company paperwork and collateral, industry experts say.
“I don”™t know if any of our new customers have been a result of bankruptcy, but I think people have embraced document management,” Taube said.
A 2009 recipient of the Westchester County Association APEX Award, Digiscribe”™s president founded company International Data Services of New York in 1988.
In 1997, Taube merged IDS into ImageMax, a public provider of document scanning and data management services.
He founded paperless office services company Digiscribe in 2001.
Digiscribe service industries range from hospitality to health care, utilizing a Kodak Certified Document Conversion Center to convert items like paper medical records and patient data to digital files.
Digiscribe”™s new address is 150 Clearbrook Road, Suite 125, Elmsford, NY, 10523. Its telephone contacts have remained the same: 586-6600 and (800) 686-7577.
