The recent addition of our ISO27001-2005 certification, the International Standard for Information Security, leaves us as the only company in Ireland with ISO27001 under the joint scope of Information Management Solutions and Information Management Capture Services.
” if a service provider has taken the trouble to certify to recognised security standards such as ISO27001….this provides significant reassurance about data security.”

Signed documents play a vital role in responding to customer enquiries, clearing payment or confirming delivery. Informa scan PODs and Signed Work Orders making them available digitally for fast and secure retrieval of information. The scanning can be completed daily, weekly or monthly and the data is typically tagged by the PoD number, Client Number or Contract Number. Once scanned and digitally secure, the documents can be shredded.
Processing Time Sheets for employees is a time critical but time heavy task. The data from paper based time sheets are usually manually entered onto the Payroll system to ensure accurate payment to employees. Informa can alleviate time and manual data entry by extracting the required data from Time Sheets and present information in a format suitable for upload to the Payroll system and provide links to scanned data if required.
Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device companies produce masses of paper documents and files. Work Orders and Batch Records are very important documents and they are often retrieved from storage and used in audits and client queries. There is a risk associated with only having the document in paper format. Informa as an ISO27001 service bureau can create a digital copy in PDF/A format of your hardcopy files with full text recognition.
Application forms, client surveys, membership & subscription forms and public registers are highly valuable documents that contain information and feedback that is time sensitive. Informa provide a service that ensures you get all information accurately extracted and presented back in a format that meets your requirements (Excel, XML, CSV, MDB etc).
Ace Draughting Limited was borne out of a growing niche in the construction and engineering industry, where paper-based drawings were being converted into AutoCAD formatting. This process required the scanning of the original hard copy and so our digital journey began.
In light of the ongoing digital trend across all business sectors, Digiscan was established to broaden the scope and range of products and services on offer. Given the infancy of the company, Digiscan made the bold move of becoming the first sole paper capture scanning bureau in Ireland.
Digitisation was now a world phenomenon, but businesses were looking for a comprehensive information management solution to make good on this digital data. So, we partnered with Zylab, who had engineered one of the first global digitalisation software products, offering free text search and hit highlighting on scanned documents at the click of a button.
Digitalisation was expanding globally, with 94% of the worlds data now digitally stored. This implied that macro and micro sized businesses needed information management solutions. Digiscan responded to this shift, offering cloud-based search and retrieval systems that no longer needed customer software investment, making it more affordable and accessible to all businesses.
Litigation and compliance support was gaining momentum as a highly specialised niche in the digitalisation market. In tandem with Zylab, Digiscan yet again remoulded its offerings and expertise, to provide Early Case Assessment and eDiscovery solutions for legal review, to law firms and private companies.
Digiscan was now providing multiple information management solutions for multiple industries, but its brand name did not reflect this. Digiscan was therefore rebranded to Informa to increase online visibility and increase market potential.
As businesses evolved increasingly into cloud-based services, there came a higher demand for enhanced security measures. Informa became the first scanning bureau in Ireland to be certified with the global gold standard ISO27001 for information security.
In response to the ongoing demands and rapid turn-around expectations of litigation support, Informa decided to extend operational hours to 16 hours daily Monday to Friday. The new nightshift staff were assigned litigation projects that were voluminous and time sensitive.
By 2018, public sector government departments and local authorities accounted for over 40% of Informa’s business. With a diverse range of statutory and legal disclosure obligations, Informa’s disclosure management solutions had to be time-efficient, cost-effective, and user-friendly. Informa had now become a leader in regulatory access requests for large scale projects both public and private.
With a robust end-to-end solution system for complex disclosures domestically, and with a view to expand internationally, Informa made the strategic decision to break into the UK public sector market. In partnership with IPRO (formerly Zylab), Informa developed a comprehensive business plan to marry domestic successes to the public sector target market in the UK.
Informa were accepted onto the G-Cloud Framework UK, a government digital marketplace, providing a secure platform from which the public sector can locate technology and/or companies for digital projects. This offers Informa increased visibility, credibility, and accessibility in this new market.
