Customer Success Story: Macarthur Anglican School
Macarthur Anglican School is an independent Anglican school in Southwest Sydney supporting over 800 students. Decades of student and administrative records filled a classroom and a paid offsite facility, with no digital backup and no internal capacity to tackle the scanning workload.
Konica Minolta deployed dedicated onsite staff and Kodak Alaris scanners over four months, digitising more than 518,000 pages with OCR for instant search. The project finished ahead of schedule, freeing up a classroom and removing offsite storage costs entirely.
Getting that classroom back was incredible, it’s made a huge difference to the school’s capacity… The instant searchability has been a gamechanger.
