Micro Com Systems (MCS), a Burnaby-based company, is celebrating a significant milestone, marking 50 years of operation in the document management industry. Since its inception in 1975, MCS has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, navigating through economic downturns and the digital revolution that has transformed the way businesses manage documents. Initially offering micrographic services across British Columbia, including remote areas, MCS laid the groundwork for what would become a province-wide success story.
The company's pivotal moment came in 1992 when it embraced the digital revolution, investing in its first document imaging scanner. This strategic decision marked the beginning of MCS's expansion into digital services, allowing it to offer a wider range of solutions such as document and microfilm scanning, and data capture. Today, MCS processes hundreds of thousands of documents monthly, catering to the needs of modern businesses aiming for paperless operations, with a particular focus on medical records conversion and legal document digitization.
MCS's success is attributed not only to its technological advancements but also to its dedicated team. With over 30 members, many of whom have been with the company for more than a decade, MCS boasts a depth of expertise that is increasingly rare in today's fast-paced business environment. The company's mission statement reflects its commitment to quality and value, emphasizing a client-focused approach that has helped it maintain relevance and build lasting relationships across various industries.
As a 100% Canadian-owned and operated business, MCS offers a unique combination of local expertise and comprehensive services, setting it apart from larger, international competitors. Its ability to scan nearly anything, either in-house or on-site, coupled with its half-century of experience, provides businesses with a level of trust and reliability that is crucial in an industry where data security and accuracy are paramount. As MCS celebrates its 50th anniversary, it not only reflects on past achievements but also looks forward to continuing its legacy of innovation and service in the document management industry.
