Trouble accessing development applications on microfilm?*

Finding it difficult to access building information, town planning and development application records due to the complexity of microfilm? If so, DatacomIT has the perfect product for you.

The STViewScan III microfilm scanner has changed the way we look at our microfilm collection. Utilising an industry leading 14-megapixel colour image sensor with USB 3.0 connection, the STViewScan III is capable of creating crisp and clear high resolution images from your microfilm collection.  The familiar ergonomic controls make it easy to use, regardless of the skill level. Staff can navigate quickly to a plan or application they require, capture it and save it as a PDF document.
With over 260 installations throughout Australia the STViewScan III is the product of choice. The STViewScan is used by dozens of local councils across the nation for viewing and digitising planning records, including:

City of Charles Sturt, South Australia;
Blue Mountains City Council, New South Wales;
Glen Eira City Council, Victoria;
City of Joondalup, Western Australia, just to name a few.
 It’s not surprising the STViewScan III received the Platinum Award from the MLA (Modern Library Awards) judges for the second consecutive year (2015 and 2016). The MLAs were created to recognise top products in a truly unbiased format.
